Get trusted, evidence-based answers in seconds 

Ask questions in a conversational way

ClinicalKey AI allows for natural language queries, so you can ask clinical questions in a conversational way and get summarized evidence in a bulleted format.

  • Answers are backed by citations to published research, to help keeping your reasoning grounded in peer-reviewed evidence
  • Go deeper by asking follow-up questions to your initial query
  • Queries are saved so you can revisit them at any time

At the speed of rounds

Whether you’re on clinical rotations or practicing full-time, every moment matters, and sometimes questions arise that need immediate answers.

  • Ask ClinicalKey AI to check facts, review complex cases, confirm management plans, or clarify unfamiliar medications
  • Responses consider patient context when prompted
  • Quickly confirm which findings align with the data — without endless cross-checking

Most AI tools weren’t built for healthcare

They produce confident answers without the clinical guardrails healthcare demands — introducing risk where reliability should come first. Instead of searching the open web, ClinicalKey AI: 

  • Pulls exclusively from peer-reviewed journals, clinical reference texts, and authoritative guidelines, refreshed daily
  • Provides linked references, making it easy to confirm evidence instantly
  • Has 100+ clinicians regularly review and test responses to help keep answers accurate and clinically relevant

Earn CME credits while you work

Turn your everyday clinical questions into ongoing professional growth. No extra forms. No after-hours effort.

  • Get 0.5 CME credits for every ClinicalKey AI response you review
  • Check your dashboard anytime to see exactly how many credits you’ve earned
  • Batch-claim credits whenever you’re ready  and submit them directly toward Maintenance of Certification (MOC) for boards like ABIM

More than just quick summaries and abstracts

  • Move beyond surface-level insights to explore the full depth of clinical knowledge

  • Connect directly to the complete, authoritative evidence behind every answer

  • Seamless access to full-text books, journal articles, and trusted reference works  

What Clinicians are saying about ClinicalKey AI

"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."

 

John D. Walker MD, FAWM, FNAP; Wilderness Medicine Physician,  University of Texas at Austin

“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. The fact that it's pointing to evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles is really the key.”
