AI-powered guideline management comes to the forefront
Ovid Guidelines AI—Wolters Kluwer Health’s first agentic GenAI solution—places scientific rigor at the center of AI-powered clinical practice guideline creation. By embedding industry gold standards such as Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) directly into the workflow, the platform supports guideline authors in documenting, justifying, and updating recommendations with full methodological transparency. This workflow brings automation to the more labor-intensive, error-prone research tasks in managing guidelines. The solution supports end-to-end guideline lifecycle management by uniting researchers, expert panels, and review boards through a shared, auditable environment for coordinating projects and capturing key evidence, deliberations, and decisions over time.
Evidence-based cancer research delivered when and where it is needed
ASCO is uniquely positioned as the most trusted and authoritative voice for oncology professionals in the US and worldwide. Leveraging this expertise, Wolters Kluwer is collaborating with ASCO to bring its thought leadership into the design and development of Ovid Guidelines AI. The ASCO Guidelines Generator will make ASCO among the first to operationalize Ovid Guidelines AI, setting a precedent for GenAI-enabled, evidence-based oncology practice.
“AI-powered tools, including the recently launched ASCO Guidelines Assistant and the soon-to-come ASCO Guideline Generator, will enhance the discoverability of content, simplify the utilization and production of guidelines, and improve patient care,” said Clifford A. Hudis MD, FACP, FASCO, Chief Executive Officer, ASCO.
Agentic AI streamlines medical research tasks
Together with ASCO, Wolters Kluwer is also leveraging Google Cloud technology in the development of GenAI features for Ovid Guidelines AI.
“We are committed to applying our AI innovations to address real-world challenges in critical fields like healthcare,” said Aashima Gupta, Global Director, Healthcare Strategy & Solutions, Google Cloud. “Teaming up with ASCO and Wolters Kluwer allows us to improve the future of cancer care, as oncologists will be able to access ASCO’s trusted, evidence-based guidelines to care for their patients.”
Through this collaboration, Wolters Kluwer will leverage Google’s advanced Gemini models and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to accelerate natural language understanding, data ingestion, and clinical content processing. These capabilities complement Wolters Kluwer’s proprietary GenAI framework and agentic workflows, enabling more scalable, intelligent, and trustworthy AI-driven solutions for clinical practice guideline development.
