Dr. Wachter - Thanks for sharing this analysis. As a non-clinical researcher, I appreciated seeing this from a provider’s perspective. I’m a huge fan of yours and incredibly grateful for all of the advice you shared about your own practices to avoid COVID during the pandemic. I work for the Christensen Institute, so I was thrilled to see your reference to Clay in your article. I also recently wrote a piece on OpenEvidence’s disruptive potential, as compared to UpToDate. I wrote it before UpToDate released it’s Expert AI tool, so that’s not included. However, I’d love your thoughts: annsomershogg.substack.…

While I propose that OE might win for a different reason than being a true Disruptive Innovation, I agree with your assessment that it may follow a similar trajectory to UpToDate displacing text books. And that’s not necessarily because it’s disruptive, but instead because it nails the Job to Be Done.
