OpenEvidence capabilities

After an initial answer, clinicians can ask interactive follow-up questions to tailor the response to a specific patient or clinical scenario, in a chat-like exchange.

An AI agent mode that autonomously conducts deep, multi-step literature research on a clinical question while the physician steps away, returning a comprehensive evidence-based synthesis report.

Physicians can earn accredited continuing medical education (CME) credit directly inside OpenEvidence by reviewing their own clinical questions and completing short learning assessments.

A clinical question-answering search engine that returns synthesized, sourced answers to medical questions grounded in peer-reviewed literature, with inline citations back to the underlying studies.

OpenEvidence grounds its answers in licensed, full-text content from major medical publishers and specialty societies, not just open-web abstracts, so citations draw on authoritative primary sources.

OpenEvidence is restricted to verified healthcare professionals and is offered to them free of charge; access is gated behind identity verification rather than payment.

OpenEvidence is free to all verified U.S. healthcare professionals; there are no paid subscription tiers or in-app purchases for clinicians. The business is funded by advertising and venture capital rather than user fees.
