Anthropic, OpenEvidence Take Medical AI to 100 Countries

Anthropic will provide the technology supporting the system, while OpenEvidence will adapt the platform to regional healthcare environments, including differences in infrastructure, disease patterns, diagnostic capabilities and treatment availability.

Anthropic and OpenEvidence have partnered to expand access to medical AI for clinicians in regions beyond the US and Europe, with limited medical literature, specialist expertise and continuing medical education.

The initiative will make a specialised version of OpenEvidence available free to healthcare providers across about 100 countries, including Uganda, Angola, Sudan, Haiti and Mongolia, enabling healthcare providers to access evidence-based medical information at the point of care.

OpenEvidence is a medical knowledge platform that enables doctors to ask clinical questions and receive answers based on peer-reviewed research and treatment guidelines.

Its content ecosystem includes sources such as th New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA Network, NCCN guidelines, Nature, and Cochrane reviews.

Anthropic will provide the technology supporting the system, while OpenEvidence will adapt the platform to regional healthcare environments, including differences in infrastructure, disease patterns, diagnostic capabilities, and treatment availability.

OpenEvidence has previously worked with health organisations in Rwanda and Botswana to adapt its technology for local clinical needs.

Daniel Nadler, Founder& CEO of OpenEvidence, said, “One hundred percent of what we are building for these places is context adaptive.”

“Access to medical knowledge shouldn't depend on geography,” Nadler added.

He also noted that smartphones can provide clinicians with access to medical information that was previously concentrated in leading institutions.

In August, US clinicians used OpenEvidence 42 million times, according to Nadler. He said several hundred million Americans will have been treated by doctors who used the platform to help guide care in 2026.

Anthropic and OpenEvidence have not disclosed the financial terms of their collaboration.

Anthropic president Daniela Amodei said the technology needed to support expansion into low-resource settings now exists, while noting that market incentives alone would not enable such an initiative.
