AI is at a crossroads. While general-purpose AI models have shown impressive capabilities across various domains, healthcare requires a fundamentally different approach, one built from the ground up to handle the complexity, specificity, and high stakes of clinical practice.
Today marks a significant advancement in specialized healthcare AI as we announce our collaboration with Wolters Kluwer Health to integrate its market-leading clinical decision support solution, UpToDate®, into Corti Assistant. This integration represents the convergence of two specialized approaches: Corti's healthcare-specific AI infrastructure and UpToDate's evidence-based clinical content.
The reality of AI in healthcare
The distinction between specialized and general-purpose AI becomes clear in real-world clinical settings. Corti's infrastructure, built specifically for healthcare, processes and delivers insights 35x faster than general-purpose models. This performance differential stems from our healthcare AI infrastructure, architecture designed to understand medical terminology, recognize clinical patterns, and process healthcare data efficiently.
Recent research conducted with YouGov validates this approach: 75% of physicians currently using AI in their practice recognize its value for clinical decision support. More tellingly, 81% of U.S. healthcare professionals specifically cite the need for strong real-time feedback in their workflows.
Integration in practice
The integration of UpToDate into Corti Assistant delivers several key benefits:
- Evidence-backed answers provided during and after consultations
- Enhanced quality of care through reliable clinical content
- Improved documentation reliability and trustworthiness
- Streamlined workflows that keep clinicians focused on patient care
These capabilities directly address a critical challenge in healthcare delivery: with 25% of clinicians considering leaving the profession weekly due to burnout, tools that genuinely support clinical decision-making while reducing administrative burden are essential.
Moving forward
This collaboration demonstrates how specialized healthcare AI can deliver concrete value in clinical settings. By combining Corti's purpose-built AI infrastructure with UpToDate's trusted clinical content, we’ll be able to offer a solution that addresses real clinical needs while maintaining the standards of medical practice. The future of AI for healthcare lies not in adapting general-purpose tools to healthcare settings, but in building specialized systems that understand the fundamental nature of clinical work.
Experience this integration firsthand at HIMSS 2025 in Las Vegas (March 3-6, 2025). Visit Corti (#3173) and Wolters Kluwer (#5432) to see how specialized healthcare AI is transforming clinical practice. Or better yet, book a meeting directly with the Corti team.
