Augmented Clinician
The Augmented Clinician publishes reviews of AI tools used in healthcare. Its focus is on helping clinicians assess products before bringing them into their work. Readers use the publication's articles and scores to investigate a tool; the site itself is not a clinical decision-support application or a note-taking service.
Clinical questions and documentation
The publication concentrates on clinical decision support and AI scribes. The former covers tools that answer clinical questions at the point of care. The latter covers software that captures a consultation and drafts its documentation. Those are different buying decisions: a useful answer interface and a useful draft note require different checks.
The team describes itself as practicing clinicians who test products and publish their findings. Its about page explains that scope and identifies the clinical reviewer as a UK general medicine physician writing under the pen name Dr. L. That is the publisher's description of the reviewer, rather than a credential verification by Franklin.
How the reviews are produced
The editorial policy specifies a repeated 50-question benchmark within a 14-day testing window. Each scoring round uses the same question order and residential connection, according to the publisher. That gives readers a process to examine alongside a numerical score.
The editorial policy also requires clinical claims to link to primary sources, such as guidelines, studies or vendor documentation. Another team member fact-checks each article. The publication says it uses AI for drafting and editing assistance, with human approval before publication.
The team states that it does not accept payment for coverage or ranking position. It directs readers to disclosures for commercial relationships and says staff with a vendor relationship are excluded from writing or scoring that vendor's tool.
Reading a score before choosing a tool
Read the review's test conditions and update history before treating its score as a recommendation for your setting. The publication says material corrections receive dated explanations and that it logs changes when a covered product changes.
A review can help narrow the products to investigate. Decisions about patient information, clinical use and local approval still belong with your organization and its qualified staff. This overview describes the publication; it does not recommend treatment or establish regulatory approval for any product it covers.
