Understand your scans and reportsin plain language.
A brain tumor diagnosis, yours or a loved one’s, is a lot to absorb. The scans, the reports, the unfamiliar terms, decisions that all seem to need answers yesterday. GlioWise exists to make the information side easier, so dense medical language becomes something you can read, ask questions about, and carry into your next appointment prepared.
How it works
Upload
A scan, a radiology PDF, or a pathology report — whatever you're trying to understand today.
Understand
Plain-English walkthrough, hover-to-define glossary, urgent signals, and questions for your doctor.
Track
Add meds, new scans, and symptoms over time. Everything lands on one horizontal timeline.
What you get
Plain-English findings
Every medical term is explained on hover. Includes urgent-signal flags and rough measurements with clear caveats.
Compare across time
Upload 2+ scans to see trend direction and pairwise changes, with informal RANO / iRANO framing.
Medication tracker
Rich side-effect and call-the-doctor cards for common brain-tumor meds. Custom entries too.
Daily symptom journal
Log headaches, fatigue, mood, sleep, and seizures in seconds. See 30-day trends and export a one-pager for appointments.
Unified case timeline
Six lanes on one strip: scans, procedures, pathology, treatments, medications, and symptoms.
Understand your pathology
Paste or upload your biopsy report. Get tumor type, grade, and molecular markers (IDH, MGMT, 1p/19q, ATRX) explained plainly.
Ask follow-up questions
Every analysis has a built-in Q&A panel. Ask clarifying questions about your specific case, in context.
Pre-appointment prep
One page you can print or save as PDF — smart questions tailored to your meds and symptoms, plus a snapshot of recent activity for the visit.
Clinical trials primer
A pre-need primer plus a guided form that turns your case (tumor type, IDH/MGMT, prior treatments, location) into the right clinicaltrials.gov search.
Introducing
Pathology reports, decoded.
The pathology report is often the most confusing document a patient gets — grade, histology, molecular markers like IDH, MGMT, 1p/19q, ATRX, Ki-67, p53… Upload or paste your report and we’ll walk you through each finding, what it means, and how it shapes your treatment options.
Your pathology report
MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION / FINAL DIAGNOSIS
Right frontal lobe, tumor resection —
Diffuse astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, 1p/19q non-codeleted, WHO CNS Grade 2.
Molecular: MGMT methylated, ATRX lost, p53 positive (80%), Ki-67 ~4%.

IDH-mutant
A change in the IDH1 or IDH2 gene. IDH-mutant gliomas tend to grow more slowly and respond better to treatment than IDH-wildtype gliomas. It's also what makes your tumor a candidate for IDH inhibitors like vorasidenib.

1p/19q non-codeleted
Your tumor still has both chromosome arms 1p and 19q. Combined with IDH-mutant status, this points to astrocytoma (rather than oligodendroglioma, which is codeleted).
MGMT methylated
A chemistry change that quiets the MGMT gene. Methylated tumors usually respond better to the chemo drug temozolomide.

Quick questions
See all FAQsIs this a diagnosis?
No. It's an educational tool. The AI can miss things, invent things, or be flat-out wrong. Always talk to your doctor before acting.
Do you store my scans?
No. Scans are sent to the AI, the response comes back, and nothing is retained on our servers. Past analyses live only on your device.
Can I use this between visits?
Yes — that's the point. Track meds, add new scans, and watch your case timeline fill in over the course of treatment.
Not sure what a term means?
Browse the Resource Library — a curated glossary of brain-tumor terms, treatment types, and common medications. No uploads required.
A note before you begin
This tool is for education and orientation only — it is not a medical diagnosis. The AI behind it is a general-purpose model, not a trained radiologist, pathologist, neuro-oncologist, or pharmacist, and it can be wrong in important ways. Use what you learn here to ask better questions of your care team, never to replace their judgment.
