Epocrates vs FeelBetter
A retrospective cohort at Brigham and Women's evaluated FeelBetter's algorithm, and two clinical pharmacists judged 1,151 of 1,290 reviewed warnings (89.2%) correct. The endpoint was warning accuracy. The PubMed record carries no funding statement. The vendor's own site adds 450K+ patients managed and 64% LDL control within three months among previously uncontrolled patients.
FeelBetter's about page names health systems, ACOs and long-term care organizations as its market, and its homepage names Epic, athenahealth and PointClickCare. It offers a Request a Demo option in place of a price.
Epocrates lists an annual epocrates+ plan at $179.99, a monthly one at $24.99, and a group plan for teams and residents. It adds a beta AI Assist whose page publishes no validation. Reviewers on GetApp and other app listings cite sponsor ads and paywalled features. Epocrates suits a clinician or resident team wanting a phone reference, and FeelBetter an organization managing a patient panel.
