ROCHESTER, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VisualDx and Perplexity today announced a new partnership that brings clinician-validated medical images directly into AI-powered health answers. VisualDx, a leading clinical decision support system used by healthcare professionals worldwide, is now part of Perplexity’s Premium Health Sources along with leading medical organizations including The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), The BMJ, EBSCO Information Services, American Heart Association, and more.
Through this partnership, VisualDx serves as the visual intelligence layer within Perplexity that improves the understanding of skin conditions, infectious disease, and other visibly diagnosable conditions.

By integrating VisualDx into Perplexity, we’re helping ensure that AI health information reflects real clinical thinking that’s supported by trusted imagery, visual evidence, and transparency.”
With this integration, Perplexity users can:
- View clinician‑validated medical images and content alongside AI health answers
- Better understand visual conditions and how they may appear across different skin…
