The Health Research Prompt Collection

Not everyone has two decades of medical records loaded into a research notebook. These prompts are for right now, when you need answers today and can't wait to build the infrastructure first. Paste them into Gemini, Claude, Grok, or ChatGPT and get structured, plain-English results without the setup.

How to use: Pick the prompt that matches your current worry. Copy the text. Crucial: These are not just "set and forget." You need to fill in the [REPLACE THIS] sections with your own details after you paste it into your AI. Once the AI finishes, look for the *** VERIFIED BY HEALTH NOTEBOOK PROTOCOL v2.3 *** signature at the very bottom. If you do not see it, the AI took a shortcut. Use Prompt #8 to force it to do the work correctly. Do not trust a lazy machine. And preferably take the result and verify it through a second AI.

0. I Don't Know Where to Start

What is this for: Use this when you are overwhelmed or not sure how to describe what you need. The AI will gently guide you to the right information.

Use in: Gemini, Claude, Grok, or ChatGPT

[REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR OWN WORDS — describe what is worrying you]

Your job is to:
1. Identify what type of medical question this most likely is (medication, diagnosis, lab results, treatment options, or general concern)
2. Provide a clear, plain-English explanation of the topic
3. Highlight the 2 to 3 most important things they should know right now
4. Suggest what kind of doctor or specialist they should speak with

Use simple language. No jargon without explanation. Be warm and reassuring.

IMPORTANT RULES FOR YOUR RESPONSE:
- Do not summarize where specific details are needed. Give the actual information, not a description of it.
