What to know

  • Anthropic and OpenEvidence are rolling out a free, specialized version of OpenEvidence's AI clinical-decision tool to physicians in about 100 low- and middle-income countries, including Uganda, Angola, Sudan, Haiti and Mongolia.
  • OpenEvidence's US and European tool is already used heavily by clinicians — 42 million consultations in August alone, according to founder Daniel Nadler.
  • The system is described as context-adaptive to differing disease patterns, diagnostic resources and infrastructure, including areas without round-the-clock electricity.
  • Critics of AI in medicine caution that systems trained mainly on high-income-country data may not reflect local practice conditions; financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“The technology itself has advanced so dramatically that the sort of structure needed for (bringing OpenEvidence to low-resource regions) is there, but the market incentives alone would not let it happen without this type of entrepreneurial, philanthropically minded work”

    Egyptian cardiologist calls expanded access a leap forward

    Dr. Ahmed Bendary, a cardiologist at Benha University in Egypt, welcomed the expansion of OpenEvidence outside the US and Europe, citing limited institutional access to major medical journals in many regions.

    “would be a tremendous leap forward, particularly in regions where institutional subscriptions to major medical journals are limited, making evidence-based, point-of-care tools even more vital…”
    — Dr. Ahmed Bendary
