What Clinicians are saying about ClinicalKey AI

“I've been asking ClinicalKey AI specific and detailed questions, as well as very high level, refined clinical judgment questions. And I have just been astonished at the speed, the nuance and the attention to detail in providing references to back up the statement."

Clinician at a major university

“Love this resource! It's been a great tool to have on the general wards to help my patients and impress my attendings. When I was completing my cardiology rotation at John Peter Smith hospital, we had a patient with suspected Takutsobo's Cardiomyopathy. My research on ClinicalKey AI helped me inform my diagnosis and guide management to help get this patient back up and running."

Internal Medicine Resident

"The fact that it's pointing to evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles is really the key. Because I get it, people could say, ‘Well, you know, you could use ChatGPT,’ but the answers you get are all over the place because of it not being evidence based."

MD, CMIO; St. Elizabeth Healthcare

"ClinicalKey AI helps me quickly find evidence-based answers. I can turn questions that arise in real time patient care situations into confident, informed decisions"

Neurology Resident; Tucson, Arizona

Internal Medicine ResidentFort Worth, Texas

"Before I started using ClinicalKey AI, it would take me hours and hours and days to bore through the literature to find exactly the details that I need … Now, in seconds, I can find an answer that would have taken days. It's a huge time saver."

Wilderness Medicine Physician, University of Texas at Austin

"The fact that it's pointing to evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles is really the key. Because I get it, people could say, 'Well, you know, you could use ChatGPT,' but the answers you get are all over the place because of it not being evidence based."

MD, CMIO; St. Elizabeth Healthcare

"The most value [(in ClinicalKey AI)] is the sources — that you know where the information is coming from and that you can click further to the sources and read more further in the evidence or in the recommendations. That's of the upmost importance to us."

MD, physician in medical data, AZ Delta, Belgium

"I think the speed of the answer and the ability to ask questions in natural language, as opposed to going in and trying to do a search, gives it a real edge over other clinical resources. Just to be able to ask a question in natural language and get a very prompt answer that is accurate is great."

MD, CMIO; St. Elizabeth Healthcare

"Generative AI isn't about replacing a doctor's training, intuition or expertise, it's about amplifying it. It’ is having the world's medical library at your fingertips, instantly summarizing massive amounts of research and literature at the bedside."

MD, CMIO; University of New Mexico Health

"(With ClinicalKey AI) It often feels like having a knowledgeable colleague you can impose upon to quickly connect you with best practices, treatment plans, or medication details using the latest research-based recommendations; and all this based on referenced, evidenced-based literature you access easily and quickly."
