Vindico Medical Education Partners with Healio AI, Launches Ask Vindico

June 26, 2026

Thorofare, NJ — Vindico Medical Education, a leader in accredited continuing medical education (CME), announces a strategic collaboration with Healio AI to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its digital learning platforms. This partnership represents a significant step forward in how clinicians access evidence-based education, embedding accredited CME directly within the clinical workflow — at the point of care.

The Healio AI platform is powered by a vast, continuously updated corpus of clinical knowledge, including a proprietary database of over 200 million peer-reviewed research papers, clinical guidelines, comprehensive drug databases, as well as Healio daily news content and Healio CME content provided by Vindico Medical Education (VME). The robust sources deliver expert-validated, evidence-based answers to prompts that clinicians can trust.

Through this collaboration, health care professionals (HCPs) can seamlessly earn CME credits while conducting clinical searches on Healio AI. With the ability to analyze real-time search queries, VME can identify clinical gaps and formulate actionable insights to guide high-impact CME initiatives. This real-world, point-of-care intelligence represents a meaningful advancement over traditional post-activity outcomes data, enabling a more precise and continuous understanding of clinician learning needs.

“Every clinical question asked in Healio AI is an opportunity to learn,” said Joan-Marie Stiglich, ELS, Chief AI Officer at Healio. “Enabling HCPs to access trusted answers in seconds while earning CME credit along the way makes it easier than ever to stay informed and meet educational requirements.”

In tandem with this partnership, VME is launching Ask Vindico, Powered by Healio AI. This proprietary feature will be embedded into all VME digital CME activities. This capability enables clinicians to access AI-powered, citation-backed insights in real time, without leaving their educational workspace, supporting more efficient and integrated learning experiences.

“Vindico’s collaboration with Healio AI is an exciting part of our ongoing approach to bring CME to clinicians where it matters most, at the point of care,” said Robert A. Esgro, Chief Operating Officer, Vindico Medical Education. “The ability to accredit health care professional searches on Healio AI provides immense value to HCPs while offering Vindico vital real-time data to identify educational gaps and understand the precise questions clinicians are asking. Furthermore, the launch of Ask Vindico will allow agile, continuously updated content to clinicians as they engage with our best-in-class digital formats. Our goal is to continue to innovate and advance the impact of our CME offerings, and this partnership allows us to achieve that.”

The partnership offers key benefits for both HCPs and grant supporters, including:

  • Seamless Point-of-Care Credit: Clinicians can fulfill educational requirements organically with real-world searches during their daily clinical decision-making process.
  • Agile Knowledge Retrieval: The Ask Vindico tool ensures that learners have immediate access to citation-backed answers, informed by real-time, peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines and curated medical intelligence precisely when learning occurs.
  • Data-Driven Outcomes: This collaboration offers deeper, data-backed insights into clinical gaps, ensuring that future education aligns precisely with documented provider needs.

VME joins an impressive group of respected organizations partnering with Healio AI to expand access to trusted clinical information. For more information on Ask Vindico, please contact Robert A. Esgro at [email protected].
