Why MedTech teams choose AcuityMD over Clarivate

AI that keeps up with your business

AcuityAI's recommendations, auto-generated call plans, audio briefs, and trip planner are all in reps' hands today.

Built for the field

Full mobile functionality means reps can prep for a call, log a visit, and listen to an AI audio brief without opening a laptop.

Live data

Self-serve deployment and continuously refreshed data, instead of a multi-week turnaround for a custom report.

Reimbursement at the site-of-care level

Real paid reimbursement rates by facility and payer, not just market-level pricing benchmarks.

Customer story: Ditching Clarivate’s rigid market segmentation for live data

A top gynecological surgical solutions manufacturer replaced Clarivate after finding that its market segmentation was inflexible and detached from their go-to-market model.

The team required live data mapped to their real-world strategy rather than adapting their business to a pre-packaged data framework.

We already use Clarivate for market forecasts – do we need AcuityMD too?

Many teams use both. Clarivate’s long-range forecasts inform strategy; AcuityMD turns that strategy into day-to-day execution for the field team.

How does AcuityMD’s reimbursement data compare to Clarivate’s?

Does Clarivate have AI capabilities like AcuityAI?
