Written by Sonika Mathur | Dec 5, 2024 6:30:52 PM

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m excited to reflect on a transformative year for Micromedex—and to share a glimpse of what’s ahead. While we’ve achieved a lot this year, we’re just getting started. Expect even more advancements in clinical decision support as we continue evolving with a clear focus: empowering healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional patient care. 

Driving innovation with customers at the center

This year, we strengthened our connection with our users, gathering insights from hundreds of customers through advisory boards, in-product feedback, and live events. These interactions shape our strategy. Every enhancement reflects what clinicians told us they need: fast, reliable answers that fit into their daily workflow. 

Key achievements in 2024 and looking to the future 

This year, we’ve expanded our clinical content, improved user experience, and modernized our mobile platform—all while laying the groundwork for an AI-powered future that keeps safety and accuracy front and center. 

Expanded clinical content

We have continually refreshed and expanded the depth of Micromedex content to provide comprehensive evidence:

"Clinicians need more than what’s provided in a standard package insert, or limited content, to make informed decisions—especially when it comes to off-label drug use"

– Petra Schultz, PharmD, Editor in Chief at Micromedex

Looking ahead, expect deeper content coverage in specialized care areas, built on the same trusted editorial rigor that healthcare professionals rely on. 

A smarter, faster user experience 

We redesigned navigation to deliver faster, clearer access to critical drug information while enabling users to customize their views. The new Micromedex mobile app provides consolidated drug information in one place, ensuring essential answers are always at hand.  

“It’s easier to quickly glance and find what I am looking for, more streamlined and easier to use, especially in the clinical setting”

Expect even more improvements in 2025: a smarter search experience, enhanced workflow integrations, and seamless navigation designed to save time and boost efficiency. 

What’s next: AI-powered precision

Micromedex is adapting with evolving technologies. AI, and in particular generative AI, represents an exciting opportunity in clinical decision support. Micromedex AI draws from our expertly curated and continuously updated content, ensuring that AI-powered responses are accurate, reliable, and clinically safe—giving healthcare professionals the confidence they need when making critical decisions. 

We are actively collaborating with customers to shape the integration of AI into Micromedex to enhance the user experience. We welcome those that would like to participate in the AI journey of Micromedex to get in touch. 

Looking ahead with confidence 

With exciting plans for 2025, our goal is to make it easier for users to quickly find the information they need while delivering a smoother, more intuitive experience.  

Thank you for being part of Micromedex’s journey. We’re excited for what’s next and committed to delivering even greater value in 2025 and beyond!
