Wolters Kluwer, a prominent provider of professional information, software solutions, and services worldwide, has introduced Lippincott Medical Education, an innovative eBook library enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). In partnership with the online learning platform Kortext, this solution aims to transform the availability of medical educational materials for universities and students throughout India, utilizing the capabilities of a dynamic AI-powered digital platform.

Cathy Wolfe, Executive Vice President and President, Wolters Kluwer Global Growth Markets, highlighted the company’s focus on creating digital platforms to improve healthcare globally: "In an increasingly connected world, Wolters Kluwer has the power to leverage data and knowledge on a global scale. By uniting our expertise with the innovative capabilities of Kortext, we can better address the evolving needs of future healthcare practitioners".

The Lippincott Medical Education platform tackles shared challenges encountered by both students and faculty by incorporating features that harness the potential of Generative AI in a secure manner. In India, medical students leverage generative AI for activities like planning, writing, and translation. To cater to these requirements, the platform introduces inventive functionalities such as Summarize, facilitating the creation of concise outlines, AI study notes for condensed information in bullet-point format, interactive assessments through Q&A, and a Citations tool for effortless referencing. These tools are crafted to optimize study effectiveness, assisting both students and educators in efficiently managing their academic workloads.

Professors and educators will be equipped with robust analytics tools seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Office 365, enabling them to monitor student progress and customize their teaching approaches accordingly. Students will enjoy round-the-clock access to the comprehensive collection of medical eBooks on Lippincott Medical Education, empowering them to study and learn at their convenience, from any location. The platform delivers a dynamic and interactive learning experience, allowing students to actively engage with the content through actions like highlighting, annotating, and collaborative efforts with peers. Universities and students will receive timely updates and access to the latest editions, ensuring they stay abreast of the most current information in the ever-evolving field of medicine.

"Wolters Kluwer is committed to empowering the next generation of healthcare professionals with the best educational resources available", said Ruchi Tushir, Vice President and General Manager, Wolters Kluwer Global Growth Markets India. “This innovative leap in medical education is poised to redefine the medical learning experience with greater efficiency, inclusivity, and data-driven academic excellence. Our collaboration with Kortext aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver high-quality medical content to universities and students throughout India".

The platform has been chosen to enhance health science e-resources at Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) through a collaboration with the HELINET consortium, securing a 5-year subscription covering over 45 e-book titles. Additionally, it has attracted the attention of Kasturba Medical College of Mangalore (KMC), where a customized collection of 75 titles has been adopted.
