Daniel Nadler on Building an AI-Powered Search Engine for Medicine

OpenEvidence has become the default U.S. medical-knowledge search tool via publisher licensing deals, next targeting clinical-trial patient matching.

• Nation-scale adoption: OpenEvidence powered 1.5 million medical-license-verified queries in a single day, with 300 million Americans this year to be treated by a physician who used it.
• Content licensing model: Modeled on Steve Jobs's iTunes deal with record labels, OpenEvidence made nonprofit publishers like the New England Journal of Medicine and NCCN official AI partners and shareholders rather than scraping their content.

Themes, sentiment and reasons are AI-written paraphrases, checked so they never quote an episode. They may contain errors. Not investment advice. Episodes remain the property of their creators.
