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."
