Global adoption and workflow integration elevate ClinicalKey AI’s role in clinical decision support
Elsevier’s ClinicalKey AI has received the “AI Innovation Award” in the 2025 MedTech Breakthrough Awards Program, an international recognition celebrating technological excellence in healthcare.
This marks the second consecutive year that ClinicalKey AI has earned this honor, highlighting its growing global footprint and deep integration into clinical practice.
“Since launching ClinicalKey AI, we have expanded globally, integrating into clinician workflows, growing the library of trusted content and providing continuing education opportunities to support clinicians at the point of care,” said Omry Bigger, President of Clinical Solutions at Elsevier.
A Tool Designed for Frontline Care
Unlike generic AI models, ClinicalKey AI is specifically designed to support clinicians at the point of care. It uses generative AI and conversational search to deliver context-aware responses based on continuously updated medical literature.
• Leverages Elsevier’s evidence-based content to generate tailored, trustworthy answers
• Integrates into EHR systems and daily workflows for fast, accurate support
• Includes references and linked citations to ensure transparency and traceability
The platform is now available in more than 50 countries, demonstrating its scalability and relevance across healthcare systems worldwide.
Added Features That Support Professional Development
Since winning the same award in 2024, ClinicalKey AI has undergone several upgrades that enhance both usability and clinical utility.
• Includes a module for Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) tracking
• Provides access to full-text guidelines and journal articles, expanding its medical knowledge base
• Integrates the American College of Cardiology (ACC)’s practice guidelines, which can be reviewed in bulleted and summarized formats
These features ensure that ClinicalKey AI not only supports clinical accuracy but also helps physicians maintain licensure and keep up with evolving standards.
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards: Competitive and Impact-Driven
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards program recognizes standout digital health and medical technology products from around the world.
The 2025 program received a record number of nominations from companies in over 18 countries, underscoring the program’s scale and significance.
“ClinicalKey AI delivers on this need, empowering clinicians to efficiently access precise and relevant knowledge from a vast array of clinical information, make evidence-based decisions and enhance patient care through the use of AI technology,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director at MedTech Breakthrough.
The award spans categories like telehealth, electronic health records (EHR), virtual care, medical devices, patient engagement, and clinical administration, placing ClinicalKey AI in the upper tier of cross-functional digital health tools.
A Growing Role for AI in Real-World Medicine
As healthcare systems face increasing demands, AI tools that seamlessly integrate into workflows—rather than disrupt them—are becoming essential. ClinicalKey AI represents this next phase in medical AI: a support tool rather than a substitute.
Elsevier’s emphasis on content integrity, clinician trust, and evidence-based practice aligns the tool with the core values of modern medicine. With two consecutive MedTech Breakthrough Awards, ClinicalKey AI is now positioned as a model for AI-driven clinical support that is scalable, accountable, and actively used by healthcare professionals.
