ChatGPT Health: OpenAI's new AI for personalized medical advice

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health for all US-based users. This feature offers personalized health advice, using individual medical records and Apple Health data. What's interesting is that your health information can now inform nearly all your interactions with the chatbot, if you consent. The new version is powered by GPT-5.6 Sol for paid users, which OpenAI calls its strongest model yet for health. However, the company warns that the AI can still make mistakes and advises users to verify information with healthcare providers. This launch comes as OpenAI faces two lawsuits over potentially harmful medical advice given by its chatbot. In one case, a family blames ChatGPT for advising a 19-year-old to use Xanax with Kratom. In another, a Florida pastor claims the AI delayed his treatment for a pulmonary embolism. The bottom line is that while this technology aims to help, there are serious concerns about its accuracy and safety.
