I was interested to learn about OpenEvidence. Below are extracts from the website.

OpenEvidence is the leading medical information platform.

Our mission is to help doctors save lives and improve patient care.

This year, more than 100 million Americans will be treated by a clinician using OpenEvidence.

As a product, OpenEvidence is an AI copilot for doctors that helps them make high-stakes decisions at the point of care. OpenEvidence is the most widely used medical AI among verified U.S. physicians. To date, we have supported over 100 million AI-powered clinical consultations from U.S. doctors and other frontline clinicians.

In a remarkably short period of time, OpenEvidence has become the default operating system of medical knowledge in the United States.

OpenEvidence is free and unlimited for health care professionals.

Have you tried using OpenEvidence? How does it compare with other clinical decision support tools such as UpToDate and DynaMed?

Best wishes, Neil
