Medscape Launches Industry-First Trusted Medical AI for 13+ Million HCPs, Combining Decades of Expertise with Real-Time, Evidence-Based Insights
Medscape has launched Medscape AI, the first and only medical-grade generative AI platform designed specifically for healthcare professionals, offering trusted, evidence-based insights to support clinical decision-making. The platform, developed in collaboration with clinicians, leverages over three decades of Medscape’s expertise, peer-reviewed medical literature, and real-time news to deliver accurate, specialty-specific information. Bob Brisco, CEO of Internet Brands, Medscape’s parent company, emphasized the importance of reliability in AI for healthcare. “As AI becomes essential to modern clinical practice, it must meet the rigorous standards clinicians demand: accurate, current, and evidence-based,” he said. “Medscape AI delivers this and more. It cuts through information overload, synthesizing medical evidence instantly to improve patient outcomes—clinical precision in your pocket.” Medscape AI is not just a search tool but a comprehensive platform integrating multiple AI-driven functions to support clinicians across all stages of practice. It stands out by providing verifiable sources—users can click on any claim to access the original reference, ensuring transparency and trust. This feature is critical, as highlighted by Dr. F. Perry Willson, a nephrologist at Yale New Haven Hospital, who noted that verifiability increases confidence in AI-generated content. “This saves me time, which means I can focus more on my patients and my family,” he said. Available at no cost to the 13 million+ Medscape members worldwide, Medscape AI is accessible in any language and from any location, making it a truly global resource. The platform will continue to evolve with enhanced personalization and new features rolling out through 2026. Dr. Kevin Fernando, a general practitioner and fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, praised the launch, reflecting on his nearly 30-year relationship with Medscape. “The global launch of Medscape AI puts clinicians at the forefront of innovation. Rapid access to trusted, human-validated content will elevate patient care across Europe and beyond.” To mark its 30th anniversary in 2025, Medscape has introduced Medscape 2050: The Future of Medicine, a dedicated hub exploring emerging trends and advancements shaping healthcare. The initiative underscores Medscape’s ongoing commitment to empowering healthcare professionals with cutting-edge tools and knowledge. Medscape AI is now live at Medscape.com, offering a new standard in medical intelligence—where clinical expertise meets AI innovation.
