Background
- Note: OpenAI leads the general AI space, but AI companies are developing deep research tools and experimenting with AI-powered academic searching in support of research. Perhaps you have faculty or students asking you to present these tools to classes.
- How will AI tools affect our traditional bibliographic databases? Will we see GenAI being put into our search platforms? Can we stop it?

Introduction
"...Dyna AI, a generative AI tool, delivers trusted, evidence-based answers faster for clinicians at the point of care. Available for Dynamic Health and DynaMedex, it redefines clinical decision support..."
DynaMed AI (see also Dyna-AI) is a leading evidence-based clinical decision support platform designed to empower healthcare professionals with reliable, up-to-date information at the point of care. DynaMed synthesizes the latest medical research, clinical guidelines, and expert information on diseases, diagnostics, treatments, and drugs. It covers over 30 specialties and more than 3,000 topics, and addresses common clinical questions through structured overviews, recommendations, and personalized tools. In 2025, DynaMed integrated AI capabilities via Dyna AI for more precise AI answers. This integration combines DynaMed's curated disease content with Micromedex's comprehensive drug information. By prioritizing evidence-based methods including systematic literature surveillance and rigorous peer review, DynaMed AI ensures clinicians can balance validity, relevance, and convenience to improve patient outcomes. It supports global health equity and is accessible via web, mobile apps, and EHR integrations, making it indispensable for physicians, nurses, and researchers.
Both EBSCO and Elsevier have introduced AI/LLM tools into resources used in healthcare. For use in making point-of-care decisions, EBSCO launched Dyna AI in its DynaMedex and Dynamic Health products, and Elsevier launched ClinicalKey AI. Both have natural language searches, with RAG summarization. The marketing for healthcare decision-making AI/LLM tools focus on accuracy, safety, and trust–and that the LLM output is meant to only support clinician decisions, not make the decisions for clinicians.
Key features of Dyna AI w/ DynaMed
- Overview and Recommendations provides synthesized summaries with graded guidance, drawing from current studies, guidelines (e.g., NICE, ACP), and clinical expertise for immediate clinical actions.
- Daily updates via continuous literature monitoring ensure content reflects the latest evidence, with personalized alerts for followed topics.
- DynaMed Decisions enhances shared decision-making with interactive tools, including patient-specific risk calculators, comorbidity considerations, and decision aids that incorporate values and preferences to facilitate provider-patient discussions.
- Dyna AI integration, powered by advanced search, surfaces relevant insights from DynaMedex content, including drug monographs from Micromedex, with AI-generated responses sourced and peer-reviewed for accuracy.
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android deliver on-the-go access with authentication, offline capabilities, and EHR integration for workflow efficiency.
- Additional tools include clinical calculators, images, patient handouts, and hyperlinks to full-text references like PubMed and Cochrane. Users can create personal accounts for CME/MOC tracking, topic following, and customizable experiences.
