With new medical papers published every 30 seconds, how are doctors supposed to keep up? Enter OpenEvidence—an AI-powered tool scanning millions of peer-reviewed studies to give physicians precise, evidence-backed answers in seconds.
Launched in 2022 by Harvard Ph.D. and serial founder Daniel Nadler, OpenEvidence has already signed up 40% of U.S. physicians, and it’s growing fast—adding 65,000 new users each month. Its software is free for doctors, supported by pharma-sponsored search results, and already used in 8.5 million patient consults per month.
But here’s the kicker: Unlike ChatGPT, OpenEvidence is built from the ground up on high-quality medical literature (JAMA, NEJM, etc.), offering citations and even surfacing limitations in published studies. Its latest upgrade, DeepConsult, mimics a team of MD/PhDs quietly working in the background to synthesize research across conditions—so physicians can focus on care, not combing through papers.
Is this just the beginning of AI-powered clinical reasoning tools becoming doctors’ most trusted assistants?
