Pathway – Medical Knowledge

Ad suggests it would be pulling verified recommendations and allow quick access to guidelines. Instead it’s just a standard AI generator with all the glitches and inability to verify sources as asking Google Gemini.

I enjoy this app very much. I gave up my subscription to another app because this one has been much more user-friendly. I am 80 years old and still work 18 to 20 hours a week. This app helps me feel young again.😄

Ease of use, sophisticated/nuanced capabilities, info in seconds. Concise, recent references.

Overall I love the idea of the app but the execution just hasn’t been working for me. The first frustrating thing is the apps inability to link from email updates. There will be an update I’d like to read on the app but I get stuck in a loop of “database updating”. The AI feature really leaves something to be desired. Very rarely do I use it any more as OpenEvidence gives either more clinically relevant or better sourced answers. In the end I find myself going to UpToDate, Amboss, or OpenEvidence AFTER I’ve tried to use Pathway which tells me it’s not with the money. I do like the email updates and find myself going to look at the papers they mention but just not in the app.

There is nothing special about this App. It takes your pulse, calculates your obesity risk, etc. The questionnaires lack depth and end up wrong. It costs $10 a week for information that’s available for free on the internet. This App feels like a scam.

too simple- the chatgpt free version or copilot is much better - i have tried both with same questions and quite disappointed how limited pathway ai responses were even to very simple questions like

Advertised as “completely free, it’s only a free trial.” I deleted immediately once I realized the misleading claim in their advertising.

It was so expensive and my first delve into AI apps. I don’t regret my purchase, but would not recommend this to others. I won’t renew my subscription because I have found other AI apps that are free and better, but I will continue to use this from time to time and see if it improves. The information needs to be more digestible. I need to cut through the weeds to confirm my medical decision making on the fly during and between clinic encounters, is why I shy away from up-to-date. U2Date is still my go-to for pharmacology dosing. Has potential.

Now don’t get me wrong, I still use UpToDate for certain things that I need more detailed information on, however, I absolutely love using Pathway for quick easy access to Clinical information!

PATHWAY IS A LIFESAVER AND A TIMESAVER!!!
