ChatGPT Health: OpenAI's New Medical Records Feature

OpenAI has rolled out its new ChatGPT Health feature to all U.S. users aged 18 and older. This tool allows individuals to connect their medical records directly to the chatbot. This means people can get highly personalized answers to their specific medical questions. OpenAI worked with doctors to upgrade both its free and paid systems. The company calls its paid version its "strongest model yet for health." Users can now let the chatbot access their health information during regular conversations, removing the need for a separate health tab. While the service is not advertised as HIPAA-compliant, OpenAI states that user health data is never used to train its models or for targeted advertising. This development comes as demand for medical AI continues to grow, with recent surveys showing 29% of adults now use AI for health questions. This could change how many people access and understand their personal health information.
