Tom's Hospital vs MediSearch

Tom's Hospital gives you on-demand AI medical consultations across 15 specialties, from cardiology and oncology to psychiatry and pediatrics. You describe symptoms or upload blood test reports, and the system returns plain-language explanations and next steps based on WHO guidelines. It also covers AHA and ESMO standards, and works as a pre-consultation prep tool or a second opinion after seeing a doctor.

Most symptom checkers give generic answers from a single general model. Tom's Hospital routes you to specialty-specific AI consultants covering cardiology, dentistry, ENT, gastroenterology, gynecology, nephrology, neurology, nutrition, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, and rheumatology. Blood report analysis handles CBC, thyroid, vitamin D, liver, kidney, and full body checkups with explanations a non-medical reader can follow.

The platform targets patients in the EU, UK, USA, Canada, and Australia who want faster clarity on symptoms or lab results without waiting days for an appointment. A single yearly subscription at $150 covers unlimited consultations and report analyses, costing less than $0.50 per day. Tom's Hospital is SOC2 and GDPR compliant, available 24/7 on any device, and explicitly does not replace in-person medical exams.

MediSearch answers medical questions with citations pulled from clinical guidelines and published research, not general web summaries. You type a health question, apply filters by specialty or study type, and get a science-backed response with sources you can verify. The product reports more than 1 million users worldwide.

Unlike broad chatbots that mix medical facts with speculation, MediSearch indexes full-text clinical guidelines from bodies like ACC/AHA and WHO, refreshes research on a 24-hour cycle, and scored 53.3% on the HealthBench Hard benchmark compared with 46.2% for GPT-5 in its own published comparison. That focus on sourced medical literature is the trade-off: it is built for health questions, not casual conversation.

MediSearch suits patients researching conditions, clinicians who want quick evidence checks, and developers integrating medical Q&A through its API. The consumer site offers a free question flow with optional Pro upgrades, while the developer portal targets clinical decision support, patient-facing Q&A, and medical LLM evaluation with HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 1 compliance.
