VIDAL France is Europe’s premier clinical information systems provider, widely recognized as the gold standard for pharmacological data.
Its databases include over 200,000 health product references, therapeutic decision pathways, risk analysis tools, and AI-supported prescribing aids.
Delivered via web, mobile, and API integrations across more than 280 clinical software systems, VIDAL supports safe prescribing and therapeutic decision-making for nearly all France-based clinicians, pharmacists, and over 90% of hospitals.
VIDAL acts as a territory-specific medicines reference, enhancing the newly launched Heidi Evidence feature with trusted, locally relevant drug information that is transparent, evidence-based, and easy to verify.
VIDAL reflects French regulatory standards, approved indications, and national prescribing guidance.
Within the Heidi platform, this ensures clinicians receive answers aligned with local practice requirements, supporting confident and compliant decision-making.
The Evidence workflow embeds trusted pharmacological data directly alongside documentation.
Through this feature, clinicians can shape care around their practice by making prescribing decisions with confidence, supported by proven evidence.
Instead of sifting through unverified AI summaries and scattered online resources, clinicians receive responses grounded in established medical references.
With direct access to cited sources, they can quickly review the underlying evidence and confidently validate the accuracy all within the Heidi platform.
"VIDAL's comprehensive drug information is essential for safe prescribing for all European healthcare professionals. By making our content available through Heidi Evidence, we're ensuring clinicians have instant access to trusted pharmaceutical references while they document patient care. This integration exemplifies how technology can enhance both efficiency and clinical safety through traceable, authoritative sourcing.” - Vincent Bouvier, Vidal Group CEO
Heidi Evidence and VIDAL work in tandem to streamline your workflow. Below is how this enhances your practice and supports safer, more efficient decision-making in everyday practice:
Refine or expand your medicines query in real time without starting over, reflecting how decisions evolve during a consultation.
Your medicine-related questions and answers are stored in Evidence history, allowing continuity across follow-ups and case reviews.
Use the Library feature to align Evidence responses with your organisation’s approved documents and preferred sources.
Heidi designed Evidence to strengthen the foundation of clinical care by grounding decisions in trusted, transparent, and verifiable sources. Clinicians remain the final decision-makers, applying essential context to every action, even with AI integration.
“Clear, well-structured outputs that I can apply immediately. I particularly value the traceable sources and hyperlinks, which make verification fast and transparent.” Dr Pierre Dubois, Chiropractor
Traditional clinical decision support tools often feel like an interruption. By partnering with VIDAL, Heidi brings the evidence to the clinician, eliminating the need to search across multiple external sources.
Updates are delivered via API as VIDAL publishes them, ensuring clinicians have access to current, reliable medicines information.
