Our Story

Built by Students.
Trusted by Students.

Med Aprovo was born from a simple frustration — medical study tools were either too passive, too scattered or not built for how modern students actually learn. We set out to fix that.

Our Mission

Give Every Medical Student Their Best Shot

We believe passing medical exams shouldn't depend on which study group you're in.

The right preparation tools — personalised AI summaries, high-yield flashcards, rigorous clinical quizzes with deep explanations — should be accessible to every student, regardless of their university or budget.

Med Aprovo brings together the latest advances in AI with a design philosophy rooted in how memory actually works: active recall, spaced repetition, exam simulation and weak spot targeting.

We're obsessive about one outcome: you walk into your exam confident, prepared and ready to pass.

Our Values

What We Stand For

🎯
Clinical Accuracy First
Every piece of AI-generated content is reviewed against current clinical guidelines. We never sacrifice accuracy for speed or content volume.
🔬
Evidence-Based Learning
Our content model is built on active recall, spaced repetition and deliberate practice — three of the most well-validated techniques in educational science.
🌍
Accessible to All
A genuinely useful free tier, fair pricing, and full Portuguese and English support — because geography and budget shouldn't limit preparation quality.
🔒
Privacy by Design
Your study data is yours. We don't sell it, we don't share it. We collect only what's necessary to make your experience better.
Fast Iteration
We ship improvements weekly based on student feedback. Medora today is meaningfully better than Medora three months ago — and that will always be true.
🤝
Student Partnership
Our roadmap is driven by students who tell us what's missing, what's confusing and what actually helped them pass. We listen.

The Full Story

From Late Nights to Launch

It started during final year exams in Lisbon. Miguel was preparing for his clinical finals using a combination of PDF notes, random YouTube videos and a flashcard app that wasn't designed for medicine. He spent more time managing his study materials than actually studying.

He built a rough Python script that would generate clinical case questions from a topic list. His colleagues started asking for copies. Sofia joined to build it properly — with a real API, a database, and a proper quiz engine. André joined to make sure the clinical content was actually right.

Three months later, they launched a closed beta with 50 students from FMUL and FMUP. Pass rates among beta users in their subsequent exams were notably higher than their cohort average. The feedback was clear: this kind of tool should exist for every medical student.

Med Aprovo launched publicly in 2024. Today it serves students across Portugal, Brazil and internationally preparing for clinical licensing exams — in both Portuguese and English.

The mission is unchanged: give every medical student the best possible chance of passing.
