MedMe is proud to present our AI-powered Clinical Search tool, developed in partnership with Asepha.

Imagine this scenario:

  • A male patient, George, aged 67 with a risk of falls, walks into your pharmacy with seasonal allergies

  • As he browses the collection of 2nd generation anti-histamines he's overwhelmed by the selection and asks you for a suggestion

  • Naturally, you access drug information resources such as CPS, or Lexicomp

  • After checking a few resources and making use of ctrl+F you've found your answer but want to double check with another resource

  • Ultimately, you provide a suggestion but have spent at least 8-10 minutes browsing resources to make a confident selection, seeing a queue of people slowly building up at the front of the dispensary

Now imagine this:

  • A male patient, George, aged 67 with a risk of falls, walks into your pharmacy with seasonal allergies

  • As he browses the collection of 2nd generation anti-histamines he's overwhelmed by the selection and asks you for a suggestion

  • You leverage MedMe's clinical search to identify options by inputting "What is the 2nd generation antihistamine with the least risk of sedation"

  • Within seconds, our tool provides a comprehensive answer with a pharmacist audience in mind highlighting clinical studies and providing a direct answer. All references are included and accessible for you to quickly review ensuring the studies are high quality

  • You provide a suggestion to George, and have more than enough time to take a sip of coffee before addressing the patient who just talked into your pharmacy

With clinical search we don't want to just streamline tasks, but provide a new way of working that allows you to have access to evidence-based medicine in seconds versus hours.

Key Features

  • Extensive Pharmaceutical Database: Our AI is trained on more than 9 million PubMed articles, drug monographs, and relevant medical guidelines, ensuring pharmacists have access to comprehensive and up-to-date information.

  • Rapid Information Retrieval: Receive accurate drug information in seconds, streamlining your workflow and allowing you to focus more on patient care.

  • Benchmark Accuracy: With a higher pass rate on the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada standards than ChatGPT, our tool offers unmatched reliability.

  • Verified Sources: Each query response includes in-text citations and direct links to sources, ensuring information traceability and further learning opportunities.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Patient Care: Fast and reliable information supports better clinical decisions, improving patient outcomes.

  • Increased Efficiency: Spend less time searching for information and more time with your patients.

  • Reliable Information: Depend on evidence-based responses to support your clinical judgments.

Sample prompts

Our tool is optimized for drug information questions. At this time, we suggest that you use alternative sources for any regulatory/billing inquiries until this is better optimized.

  • "Which 2nd generation antihistamine has the lowest risk of sedation?"

  • "What side effects should I monitor for a patient taking Metformin with Stage 3 kidney failure?"

Dosing/Dosage adjustments for patient specific considerations:
