Episode notes
Rapid Adoption In High-Stakes Medicine
- OpenEvidence became the de facto OS for clinical knowledge in ~18 months, used vastly more than alternatives.
- High-stakes clinical decision support is distinct and requires precision because doctors get one shot with patients.
Medical Queries Are Deep Semantic Searches
- Clinical queries are long, semantic scenarios not keyword searches and need semantic understanding.
- Once you map the scenario, you can deterministically route to exact trial snippets or guidelines that answer it.
Design For Physicians First
- Target physicians as users rather than patients to preserve accountability and clinical judgment.
- Present results as routed sources with citations so doctors can audit and verify claims.
