Rheumatic diseases are chronic and complex, and patients and caregivers often manage them for years, many with care from primary care physicians and other specialists as well as rheumatologists. The American College of Rheumatology is collaborating with OpenEvidence to make its patient education resources available within OpenEvidence. @ACRheum's disease, condition, and treatment fact sheets, in English and Spanish, cover conditions such as gout, psoriatic arthritis, and more. They surface automatically when clinically relevant, alongside peer-reviewed literature, with a direct link back to the source.

Rheumatologists kept stopping by our booth at ACR today to tell us about a study presented at this morning's plenary. Five AI platforms were tested using 60 scenarios built from ACR and EULAR guidelines. OpenEvidence ranked first in agreement with those guidelines at 91.2%. Rheumatology is a hard test, and the authors picked it for that reason. Treatment and monitoring decisions turn on patient-level details, and the guidelines keep changing. One point in the study applies to every tool in it: a convincing answer still needs checking. That's why every OpenEvidence answer shows its sources, so the clinician can see the evidence and decide. Independent evaluations like this one are how medical AI should be judged. More of them, please.

Thank you, Dr. Harvey. The @ACRheum's patient education resources, in the same place clinicians are already asking about the diagnosis and the drug. We are at booth 3822 through the end of Convergence. Stop by to see what's new at OpenEvidence.

Introducing Learn, a free, personalized medical education platform from OpenEvidence, built to support trainees and clinicians across their entire careers. As AI changes how doctors work, it matters just as much that it strengthens how they learn. Clinicians have made OpenEvidence an everyday tool at the point of care. Now we apply that same technology and those same principles to how doctors learn medicine. Developed with leading medical institutions, certifiers, and educators, Learn brings together a suite of tools built on OpenEvidence so every trainee and clinician gets a tailored, evidence-based learning experience.
