Continuously evolving with guidance from clinical advisors.
What sets Rapids apart from other clinical decision support tools? Our “human in the loop” approach to knowledge curation. Leaders in the field of psychiatry elicit and validate the latest evidence-based knowledge, augmenting with practical insights from years of clinical practice. Medication and treatment guidance draws on intelligence gleaned from over 2.1 million drug switches. Rapids doesn’t crawl the internet, create knowledge on the fly, or provide reams of journal articles for clinicians to sift through.
Our goal? To bring you the latest practical, evidence-based, and effective guidance so you can focus on timely care and optimal outcomes.
