- What is EvidenceMD?
- EvidenceMD is the first AI model built to apply clinical reasoning to medical research rather than summarise it. It searches more than 40 million peer-reviewed papers and clinical guidelines, weighs the evidence the way a physician does — study quality, whether the population matches your patient, conflicting trials — and answers with transparent, step-by-step reasoning and a citation for every claim. It is trusted by more than 100,000 doctors and researchers, and it also includes an evidence-based AI medical scribe.
- Does EvidenceMD just summarise research papers?
- No. Most medical AI tools retrieve papers and summarise what they say. EvidenceMD is the first model built to apply clinical reasoning to them: it is fine-tuned on evidence-based clinical reasoning, retrieves from more than 40 million peer-reviewed papers and guidelines before it answers, and then appraises that evidence — effect size, risk of bias, applicability and conflicting results — to reach a reasoned clinical answer. You can read the whole chain of reasoning, and every claim links to its source.
- Is EvidenceMD better than ChatGPT for clinical questions?
- Unlike general-purpose assistants, EvidenceMD is purpose-built for medicine. It shows its clinical chain-of-thought, cites peer-reviewed literature and guidelines with each answer, and is specialty-aware, so clinicians can verify the evidence behind every recommendation instead of trusting an unsourced response.
- Does EvidenceMD have a mobile app?
- Yes. EvidenceMD is available on the web, on iOS via the Apple App Store, and on Android via Google Play, plus a Chrome extension for the AI scribe. Your history and workspace stay in sync across devices.
- Is EvidenceMD HIPAA compliant?
- EvidenceMD is built with a HIPAA-aligned security posture: data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for eligible plans.
- Can developers build on the EvidenceMD API?
- Yes. EvidenceMD offers an OpenAI-compatible medical AI API so teams can add evidence-based clinical reasoning with citations to EHRs, telehealth tools and healthcare products. See the Medical AI API page to get started.
- Can EvidenceMD create medical presentations?
- Yes. Type a clinical topic and EvidenceMD researches more than 40 million peer-reviewed papers and clinical guidelines first, then builds an evidence-based 10-slide presentation around what it retrieved — the first clinical reasoning platform to write presentations with a transparent chain of thought. You choose the audience (physician, nurse, PA, medical student, researcher or pharmacist), the format (clinical review, case discussion, journal club, learning or research review) and the evidence depth. Every claim is anchored to retrieved sources listed with titles and links on a closing Sources slide, and the deck is delivered as a full-screen presenter view and a presentation-ready PDF that renders identically anywhere. Presentations are included with yearly plans.
- Does EvidenceMD do CDI and utilization review?
- Yes. EvidenceMD reviews a completed note for clinical documentation integrity and utilization management: ICD-10 specificity, MEAT support, HCC recapture across prior visits, E/M level based on 2-of-3 medical decision making, CPT and charge-capture gaps, and denial risk. It also covers utilization review — inpatient versus observation using Two-Midnight Rule reasoning, and a structured ED utilization review. Every finding is anchored to a verbatim phrase from the note, so nothing is invented.
- Can I use the CDI and utilization review without the AI scribe?
- Yes. CDI/UR runs both ways. Inside the AI scribe you review the note that was just drafted and apply the findings back into it in one click, with revert. Standalone, you paste or upload a note from any EHR and get the same review plus standalone-only capabilities: qualitative DRG impact, non-leading CC/MCC query drafts, inpatient-versus-observation level-of-care review, and ED utilization review.
- How does EvidenceMD improve revenue integrity?
- It surfaces revenue the documentation has not yet earned credit for. Because the same clinical reasoning engine builds the clinical picture before it looks for a code, it catches unspecified diagnoses that lose a CC or MCC, chronic conditions that were never reassessed, procedures performed but never billed, missing modifiers and E/M levels the note actually supports. A separate coding pass attaches estimated Medicare reimbursement based on CMS RVUs, each suggestion tied to a verbatim quote so it holds up under audit. EvidenceMD supports certified coders and CDI professionals rather than replacing them.
