Codeveloped with clinicians, Medscape AI is the first and only advanced AI reference tool powered by three decades of Medscape expertise, peer-reviewed literature, and real-time news insights – empowering HCPs globally with fast, accurate, and trustworthy medical insights.
Medscape, the leading global digital platform for physicians and healthcare professionals (HCPs), today announced the launch of Medscape AI – the first and only medical-grade Generative AI experience that integrates Medscape’s proprietary content, peer-reviewed literature, and real-time medical news to deliver timely, trustworthy, speciality-specific insights that support informed decision-making.
“As AI becomes essential to modern clinical practice, it not only needs to unlock unmatched value to our users, it must also meet the rigorous standards clinicians require: accurate, current, and evidence-based,” said Bob Brisco, CEO of Medscape’s parent company, Internet Brands. “Medscape AI delivers this and more. It cuts through the information overload plaguing healthcare professionals, synthesising evidence instantly to drive better patient outcomes. It’s clinical precision in your pocket – expert guidance that’s tailored to meet your exact query, grounded in evidence, and powered by Medscape’s human-validated compendium of medical expertise.”

“The things I am looking for when I’m interacting with tools like this are reliability and verifiability – having verifiable information increases my ability to trust what I am seeing,” said F. Perry Willson, MD, MSCE, a nephrologist at Yale New Haven Hospital. “Everything that Medscape AI says is going to be tied back to something that you can click on and see the primary source. A model like this saves me time, which means I have more time to take care of my patients, and get home and spend time with my family.”
