Despite their best efforts, up to date can never truly be up to date, can they?

No shade, we love up to date; we just see ourselves as a complement.

I mentioned this to my wife (she's a research physician) and her first response was also "isn't that what Up to Date does?"

How would you characterize the difference between InpharmD and UpToDate? Different features? Better execution?

Yep, totally. But they have X credible authors so can only have X credible info on their site.

This means they focus on the most common questions.

Public data/ our data shows point of care references like UTD can only answer ~1/2 of clinical questions.

We’re building our tool for the other 1/2.
