YOUR GO-TO INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE FOR THE SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

Elsevier has announced the launch of Nora AI, an artificial intelligence-powered assistant designed to make trusted, evidence-based learning support more accessible for healthcare students and educators. Integrated into Elsevier eBooks through VitalSource’s Bookshelf^® platform, Nora AI enables users to ask questions and receive contextualized, personalized answers grounded in Elsevier’s trusted course content.

Developed specifically for healthcare education, Nora AI allows students to clarify complex topics, strengthen foundational knowledge, and deepen subject mastery without leaving their eBook environment. For educators, it provides an additional resource to reinforce course materials and extend learning beyond the classroom.

Brent Gordon, President of Global Healthcare Education at Elsevier, emphasized that healthcare education is at a pivotal moment as AI opens new opportunities for teaching and learning. He noted that Nora AI delivers timely support within the flow of study and serves as a reliable complement to instructor-led teaching.

Raman Kaur, MSN, AGNP-C, RN-BSN, and Vice President of Technology for Global Healthcare Education at Elsevier, highlighted that students and educators increasingly seek personalized ways to engage with healthcare content. She explained that trust, accuracy, and transparency are central to Nora AI, which grounds its responses in Elsevier eBooks, provides citations, and offers follow-up questions and related content to enhance engagement.

Nora AI reflects Elsevier’s commitment to responsible AI, ensuring responses remain transparent, relevant, and connected to course materials. Key features include source citations, personalized follow-up questions, related content recommendations, multimedia tutorials such as Osmosis for Healthcare Education videos, and interactive study tools. These capabilities enrich real-time learning for students and support educators in course preparation.

By combining trusted Elsevier content with AI-powered guidance, Nora AI expands access to reliable learning resources across healthcare education programs. It also strengthens Elsevier’s portfolio of AI-enabled solutions, which includes Sherpath AI and Osmosis AI.
