How did Cochrane select AI tools to evaluate in our platform study?

How did we select AI tools to evaluate in our platform study?

Take a look at our blog where we outline that process and demonstrate what Cochrane values when deciding whether to use an AI tool for evidence synthesis: www.cochrane.org/about-us/new...

image shows three circles with text ‘substance use or mental health challenges’, ‘justice-involved adults’ and ‘non-custodial treatment orders’ intersecting with the text ‘health and well-being?’. Background is yellow. Image heading reads ‘Non-custodial treatment orders offer an alternative to custodial sentences but what are the impact of these on the health and well-being of people involved with the justice system? Two related reviews on this topic area now published.’ NESSIE logo in bottom right hand corner.

Green and blue graphic advertising a course. The text reads: Online training course. Systematic, scoping, rapid, overview and living reviews - what they are and when and how to use them. Self-guided, online training, produced in collaboration with ISPOR. YHEC speaker: Mary Edwards, Senior Rsearch Consultant. There is a photo of Mary Edwards and the YHEC 40th anniversary logo and the ISPOR Education Series logo are both featured.

Right question, wrong method? Systematic reviews are seen as gold standard but they may not fit every product life cycle stage. Gain insights from YHEC's Mary Edwards in this self-guided course produced in collaboration with @ispor.bsky.social
