Artificial Intelligence is changing how we search, learn and even care for ourselves. From ChatGPT to Co-Pilot, AI tools are becoming our go-to for quick answers. But do you trust AI with your Health?
Health is already one of the most common ways people use ChatGPT, with hundreds of millions of people asking health and wellness questions each week. This is why OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPTHealth, a new feature that allows users to securely integrate personal health information with ChatGPT’s AI to better understand and manage health-related questions.
ChatGPT Health operates as a separate, dedicated space within the platform and includes additional privacy and security protections tailored to sensitive health information, according to a Jan. 7 news release. OpenAI said conversations within ChatGPT Health are encrypted, isolated from other chats and not used to train its foundation models.
What ChatGPT can see about your health
According to OpenAI, one of the biggest challenges people face when seeking medical guidance online is that information is scattered across provider-specific portals, wearable apps, and personal notes. As a result, it can be hard to get a good overview. This leads people to turn to ChatGPT, which often only gets a partial view of the picture, too.
Users can connect medical records from U.S. health care providers through a partnership with wellness apps such as AppleHealth, Function and MyFitnessPal. Medical record integrations and some app connections are currently available only in the U.S., and Apple Health requires iOS.
Ultimately, it might be too soon to tell the accuracy and protection of AI “doctors”. ChatGPT Health works best as an AI health assistant that helps patients understand and organize their health information, not as a replacement for medical professionals. If you're looking for a convenient way to make sense of your health data and you're aware of the tool's limitations, it can be valuable. The personalization is genuinely useful since answers feel more relevant when the AI knows your context. It's not for emergencies, complex treatment decisions, or medication management without your doctor's involvement.
ChatGPT Health is another step toward turning ChatGPT into a personal super-assistant that can support you with information and tools to achieve your goals across any part of your life. We’re still at the very beginning of this journey and only time will tell if the overall masses adopt AI health assistances but the fact that so many people will now have access to health care solutions is a step in a meaningful direction. Guess we will just have to be Patient and see what happens.
