Over 3 million clinicians around the world depend on UpToDate to guide patient care, and now the gold standard in clinical decision support is integrating generative AI. But in a world where AI models often hallucinate, how do you build something that doctors can actually trust?
In this episode, Halle talks with Dr. Holly Urban, VP of Business Development and Strategy at Wolters Kluwer Health, about UpToDate Expert AI, a new tool trained exclusively on UpToDate’s physician-authored content — not the open internet — and what it means for the future of medicine.
We cover:
🤖 Why grounding AI in verified medical data matters for accuracy and trust
💬 How clinicians are using AI at the point of care today, and where they’re facing fatigue
📚 How medical education will evolve when memorization matters less than critical thinking
💡 Why patient-facing AI tools could help close the information gap between doctors and patients
🚨 The biggest risks Holly sees ahead for AI in healthcare
