Healthcasts Introduces Update to Clinician Collaboration and Research Tool

Healthcasts, an online platform for healthcare professional consultation and real-world experience sharing, has released an update to its ConsensusMD research tool. This AI-powered tool, which compiles peer-to-peer consultations and case studies, now includes new features designed to support clinical decision-making. The latest enhancements aim to improve healthcare professionals’ access to real-world treatment insights, facilitating more informed and timely decisions. Key updates include:

New Features for ConsensusMD

• Top Related Treatments: Aggregates treatment recommendations for various diseases, providing quick validation of treatment options based on peer experiences.
• Frequently Mentioned Insights: Summarizes critical details such as side effects, administration methods, dosing, and costs related to specific drugs.

Enhanced Real-World Experience

• Real-World Use Cases: Offers practical information derived from real-world consultations and case studies, assisting clinicians in navigating complex and unique patient scenarios.
• Most Relevant Consults: Highlights database entries that best match specific search criteria, particularly useful for addressing complex or rare clinical situations.

Tool for Off-Label Use

• Bridging the Gap: Addresses the gap between on-label care guidelines and the complexities of real-world treatment by offering peer insights when traditional reference tools may be insufficient.
• Support for Off-Label Prescriptions: Facilitates informed decision-making on off-label drug use by sharing successful case studies and peer experiences.

Sollis’ Final Thoughts

ConsensusMD’s latest updates demonstrates the continued drive to harness the power of AI to bring together large data sets (in this case peer-to-peer consultations and case studies to offer validation of treatment decisions through aggregated peer experiences.), and produce a joined up response for the user. This is in line with the trends that content will increasingly become more conversational; in that users will increasingly be having truncated conversations with the content through an interactive system. (Something our CEO wrote about on solli, here). 

• How will users respond to this aggregated response? 
• Will the AI be reliable, well-trained and deliver accurate information to users?
• What new brand opportunities will this open up for organizations looking to engage with users within or around this updated tool?
