“We’re committed to providing access to the best and most current medical information to people around the world, and this new AI-powered tool is our latest step in advancing that mission,” said Merck Manuals Editor-in-Chief Sandy Falk, MD. “The Manuals AI-enhanced search allows patients, families, and all health care consumers to get access to trustworthy medical information in a faster way. All content in the Manuals is written by leading physician experts, not by AI or medical writers. This new tool provides the best of both worlds, users get the benefit of the latest technology, promptly receiving medical information from the same reliable source they’ve trusted for over 100 years.”

The answers are clear and easy to understand, and the tool supports many different languages. It is designed to provide patient-focused medical information, including references and further resources, to help enable more informed decisions.
