Briefings

MDCalc launched CrossCover, a generative AI tool designed to help clinicians trust AI chatbots while protecting patient privacy. Unlike competitors such as OpenEvidence and Epic, CrossCover avoids requiring clinicians to register with national IDs or sign privacy agreements. Instead, it strips out sensitive patient data from queries to reduce risks. Graham Walker, head of AI at MDCalc, described the tool as an accelerator for clinical generative AI that aims to make physicians feel more confident in using it.
