Description
Ask Lunas Health about the card you are reviewing without leaving Anki.
Lunas Health is a clinical evidence search made by LunasAI. You ask clinical and research questions against PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA and CMS sources, and every answer traces back to the record it came from. This add-on opens it from ortholunas.com in a sidebar next to the reviewer. Reveal a card, click a preset such as Mechanism or Board Pearl, and the question runs in Lunas Health with the card's text filled in.
This add-on is unofficial. LunasAI did not make it and does not support it. Versions up to 1.0.0 were called OrthoLunas sidebar.
WHAT IT DOES
- Opens Lunas Health in a sidebar next to the reviewer. Ctrl+Shift+O (Cmd+Shift+O on a Mac) shows or hides it.
- Six presets for board-style study: Explain, Mechanism, Board Pearl, Distinguish, Presentation and Management. Edit them, add your own, and preview the exact prompt before it goes out.
- Sends clean card text. Clozes stay hidden on the question side, images become [image], and you can exclude decks and note types.
- Works on both sides of the card. An ask on the question side sends the question and tags, never the answer.
- Right-click selected text in the reviewer, previewer or editor and choose Ask Lunas Health.
- Select text in a Lunas Health answer and add it to a card field. Edit > Undo takes it back.
- Keeps a history of what you asked about each card, on your computer only, with Re-ask.
- Can cover the page on the question side until you reveal the answer, so an earlier card's answer stays out of sight. This is off by default. Turn it on in Settings > Automation.
- Auto-ask can fill in or send the default preset when you reveal an answer. It is off until you turn it on, runs at most once per card, and stops at 60 sends an hour.
- If Google sign-in does not work inside Anki, browser mode opens each question in your web browser instead.
WHAT YOU NEED
- Anki 25.07 or newer on Windows, macOS or Linux. Tested on 25.9.4 and 26.9.3. AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid are not supported.
- Your own Lunas Health account. The add-on opens it at ortholunas.com, the same site as lunas.health. You sign in with Google. New accounts get a 30-day free trial with no card. After that Lunas Health costs $15 a month or $144 a year. Its terms limit accounts to healthcare professionals, trainees and researchers.
PRIVACY
- Nothing leaves Anki until you ask, or until you turn on Auto-ask.
- When you ask, the add-on sends the card's text to Lunas Health. That is the question, plus the answer and extra fields on the answer side, and tags, deck or note type when a preset uses them. Settings > Privacy shows exactly what would be sent.
- Lunas Health keeps your conversations in your account until you delete them.
- Do not use this with cards that contain patient information. See ortholunas.com/hipaa.
- The add-on never reads your sign-in token or the answers Lunas Health writes.
Lunas Health answers are study material, not medical advice. Check the sources it cites.
