Wolters Kluwer Health introduces AI Article Summary on Ovid to streamline medical research and support evidence-based care

(IN BRIEF) Wolters Kluwer Health has launched the AI Article Summary feature on its Ovid platform, a new tool designed to help researchers, clinicians, and students save time by generating concise, structured summaries of peer-reviewed articles. Currently available in Beta for select LWW journals, the feature leverages generative AI and specialized prompt engineering to highlight key findings and clinically relevant insights in plain language, making it easier to evaluate and share research quickly. Senior Vice President Rafael Sidi stressed that the tool supports researchers by managing the overwhelming volume of published studies, while UCLA’s Dr. Thomas C. Kingsley highlighted its role in turning complex scientific data into practical insights that enhance clinical decision-making. By embedding this function directly into Ovid workflows, Wolters Kluwer is advancing evidence-based practice and streamlining medical research processes for a global community of healthcare professionals.

(PRESS RELEASE) ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN, 28-Aug-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Wolters Kluwer Health has introduced a new AI-powered feature on its Ovid platform designed to accelerate and improve the way researchers and healthcare professionals engage with peer-reviewed literature. The tool, called AI Article Summary, is now available in Beta across selected LWW proprietary journals within Ovid, offering concise, plain-language synopses of published research to help users quickly extract meaningful insights earlier in the discovery process.

With the ongoing surge in research publications and the mounting pressures faced by clinicians who must balance patient care, administrative duties, and academic responsibilities, the ability to identify relevant findings rapidly has become more critical than ever. Ovid’s AI Article Summary addresses this by producing structured and reliable article digests, enabling users to evaluate studies efficiently and apply evidence-based insights more confidently.

“This new feature was built with the needs of researchers and clinicians in mind,” said Rafael Sidi, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Health Research at Wolters Kluwer Health. “By embedding summarization directly into Ovid, we help users navigate the ever-growing volume of scientific output, saving time while ensuring they capture the key points essential to their work.”

The summarization tool was developed specifically for research contexts and applies specialized prompt engineering to distill clinically and scientifically pertinent details. Summaries are uniform in style across journals, making it easier for researchers to compare information from different sources. The output highlights both practical, ready-to-use insights and critical methodological points that are valuable for clinical decision-making and collaborative knowledge sharing.

Thomas C. Kingsley, MD, MPH, MS, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, emphasized the importance of the tool, noting that it translates complex research into actionable insights that can directly support improvements in clinical care delivery.

By integrating AI-generated summaries seamlessly into Ovid, Wolters Kluwer Health ensures that busy clinicians, students, and researchers can stay current with the latest findings without stepping outside their existing workflows. This marks a significant advance in bridging the rapid pace of research progress with the needs of evidence-based healthcare.
