What is MediSearch?
MediSearch is a retrieval-based AI medical search engine that searches a literature corpus and summarizes the findings rather than generating from a model’s memory. It cites more than 30 million scientific articles, serves both clinicians and consumers, and is a Y Combinator (S23) company based in London.
What is MediSearch best at?
- Retrieval-grounded with citations, which limits free-form hallucination by design.
- Cross-platform — web, iOS, and Android.
- Enterprise compliance posture — its developer API’s enterprise tier advertises HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 1.
What are MediSearch’s limitations?
- Dual consumer + clinician positioning can dilute clinician-grade depth — a contrast with clinician-only tools.
- Accuracy figures are vendor-reported and internally inconsistent, with no independent peer-reviewed validation found; treat performance claims with caution.
- Explicitly not a substitute for a medical professional — it cannot diagnose or prescribe.
- Small, early-stage team.
Who is MediSearch best for?
Clinicians and researchers who want a fast, citation-grounded literature summary across a broad corpus, and who are comfortable verifying. Clinicians who want a clinician-only, evidence-graded engine with multilingual output may prefer Vera Health.
