Corti, Wolters Kluwer partner for expanded access to clinical content
AI and research company Corti announced it is joining forces with global clinical technology company Wolters Kluwer to integrate its clinical support platform UpToDate into Corti’s real-time AI platform.
The aim of the collaboration is to enhance clinicians’ access to credible medical data.
The two companies are integrating evidence-based information from UpToDate, beginning with a pilot in the Corti Assistant app.
According to the company, Corti Assistant listens, understands and documents conversations in real-time, producing clinical letters in seconds.
Additionally, by providing evidence-backed answers during and after consultations, the collaboration will aim to further increase each interaction, improve the quality of care and make AI documentation more dependable.
“At Corti, we’ve spent nearly a decade developing AI specifically for healthcare–deeply understanding the nuances, challenges, and workflows that clinicians navigate every day,” Dr. Frederik Brabant, chief medical strategy officer at Corti, said in a statement.
“Unlike apps wrapped around general-purpose AI, Corti Assistant is purpose-built to support real-world clinical decision-making, documentation and patient interactions.”
Greg Samios, CEO OF clinical effectiveness for Wolters Kluwer Health, said the collaboration with Corti is a powerful force for transformation in healthcare that will allow Wolters to open new opportunities to increase patient outcomes while streamlining care delivery.
“Working with innovative companies like Corti to integrate UpToDate into their ambient solution enables us to achieve our goal of breaking down silos in healthcare, and providing actionable solutions that directly improve the patient-provider interaction,” Samios said in a statement.
THE LARGER TREND
In January, Corti unveiled specialized foundation models, designed and trained to help AI deliver on its original promise to healthcare, “to make time for patients, not take it away,” the company said in a statement. The company introduced three specialized models, built on nine years of peer-reviewed research and trained exclusively on healthcare data. The aim was to deliver faster, more concise, accurate and cost-efficient performance than the leading large language models on the market.
In 2023, Wolters Kluwer added generative AI capabilities to aid collaboration for UpToDate.
That same year, Wolters Kluwer and health tech company Unbound Medicine launched a mobile app version of Lippincott’s Nursing Drug Handbook, a pocket drug guide for nurses.
The app, which brings the print edition of Lippincott’s handbook to the digital space, includes updates from the FDA and data on more than 3,800 generic, brand name and combination drugs. It also had 300 pharmacology questions from the National Council Licensure Examination for nursing students.
