About OpenEvidence

Information overload is an extreme challenge in medicine.

The amount of medical research published annually is doubling every 5 years.[1] Such a rate of change makes it nearly impossible for the world's physicians, medical researchers, and healthcare professionals to monitor and understand all the latest research literature and clinical evidence relevant to their work.

To tame the medical information firehose, we built OpenEvidence, an artificial intelligence system to aggregate, synthesize, and visualize clinically relevant evidence in understandable, accessible formats that can be used to make more evidenced-based decisions and improve patient outcomes.

Today, OpenEvidence powers ClinicalKey AI, a physician-grade clinical decision support system, and OpenEvidence.com. Healthcare professionals can rely on ClinicalKey AI for accuracy-critical tasks in point-of-care settings. ClinicalKey AI draws from trusted full-text sources for immediate answers to questions about drug dosing, side effects, curbside consults, treatment plans, and more.

At OpenEvidence, our mission is to organize the world's medical knowledge and make it more useful, open, accessible, and understandable.
