OpenEvidence has entered into a multi-year collaboration with Boston Children's Hospital to study how clinicians' use of artificial intelligence at the point of care correlates with care delivery patterns. The initiative will integrate OpenEvidence's AI-powered medical evidence platform directly into the health system's electronic health record (EHR), enabling clinicians to access evidence-based medical information within their existing clinical workflow.
OpenEvidence provides a free AI-enabled medical research platform for physicians in the United States. Its medical copilot is trained exclusively on medical journals and clinical data, with the objective of helping physicians identify and synthesize relevant evidence to support clinical decision-making.
As part of the collaboration, the organizations will analyze aggregated provider-level data to examine the relationship between OpenEvidence usage and clinical practice patterns across the health system. According to the companies, no patient data will be accessed or used during the research, with the analysis focused on anonymous clinician interactions and usage trends.
"This initiative brings together Boston Children's deep clinical expertise and OpenEvidence's clinical evidence platform to better understand care delivery and help children thrive, while preserving patient privacy," said John Brownstein, chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital.
He added, "By analyzing anonymous patterns in how clinicians ask and answer questions during these encounters, we can surface insights into health trends that would otherwise remain hidden – and, in collaboration with OpenEvidence, continue helping clinicians deliver better care."
The collaboration expands OpenEvidence's growing presence across healthcare providers and professional medical organizations. Earlier this week, the company announced a partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, enabling clinicians to access AI-generated answers based on the organization's policies, recommendations, and pediatric research with citations to the original sources.
OpenEvidence has also established collaborations with numerous healthcare systems during 2026, including Cedars-Sinai Health System, Mount Sinai Health System, Sutter Health, NewYork-Presbyterian and its affiliated medical schools, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Weill Cornell Medicine. The company has similarly integrated clinical expertise from organizations such as the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, and several other medical specialty societies into its AI platform.
