What HCPLive does

HCPLive is a digital clinical news and medical education platform that serves connected physicians and healthcare professionals across multiple therapeutic areas, with particular depth in rheumatology. The product surface spans a news homepage backed by ~20 dedicated content properties including Clinical Forum Insights, Podcasts, Shorts (short-form video), State Of Sciences presentations, Videos, Webinars, CURE Connections, Medcast, Peer Exchange, Peers & Perspectives, Special Report, Conference Coverage, a conference listing, digital supplements, interactive tools, live events, peer-reviewed publications, and an advisory board. CME/CE accredited content is offered, and the platform distributes via hcplive.com with self-serve access. A feature called Scout AI provides AI-powered search or discovery across the content library. The company operates as a subsidiary of MJH Life Sciences, a healthcare media conglomerate that acquired the Rheumatology Winter Clinical Symposium (RWCS) in January 2026 and launched a dedicated rheumatology digital platform with HCPLive serving as the content partner; Physicians' Education Resource (PER) acts as the accredited CME provider.

The business model is a healthcare professional (HCP) media platform monetized primarily through advertising/sponsorship relationships (HCPLive maintains an SAP-style partner program and sponsored content slots), continuing medical education (CME/CE) delivery in partnership with accredited providers such as PER, and commercial extensions such as live events and conference coverage (including RWCS). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is a horizontal persona — physicians and other healthcare professionals — rather than enterprise accounts, and go-to-market centers on editorial credibility, peer-physician advocacy (Peer Exchange, Peers & Perspectives), and recurring event-driven content cycles. The company is privately held, headquartered in Cranbury, United States, with 11–50 employees, and operates with global content distribution through its digital platform.

The platform's underlying technology is a standard digital content management system surface (web articles, audio/podcast, short-form and long-form video, webinar hosting, interactive tools, and CME accreditation APIs); the proprietary 'Scout AI' module is the only named technology feature and is referenced as an AI-powered content discovery utility. No other proprietary technology assets, patents, or trademark portfolio are disclosed. HCPLive is positioned as a content partner within MJH Life Sciences' broader healthcare media portfolio rather than as an independent standalone entity.
