The feud between OpenEvidence and Doximity heats up, with Doximity now countersuing OpenEvidence for defamation and false advertising. OpenEvidence sued Doximity in June for “brazen corporate espionage” related to Doximity executives allegedly impersonating various physicians and using their NPI numbers to gain access beyond what they were entitled to, with their alleged ultimate goal being to grab OpenEvidence code. (Dr. Jayne had fun summarizing the suit when she came across it several months ago.) Both companies are looking to create a ChatGPT-like tool for healthcare.
