OpenAI wants to be in the room for your next diagnosis. On Thursday it began rolling out ChatGPT Health to every logged-in US adult.
The chatbot can now connect to your Apple Health data and medical records, the company said. It can then draw on them in any conversation. More than 300 million people already ask ChatGPT health questions each week.
Now it wants their lab results, medications and visit notes too.
The pitch came with a bold claim. OpenAI’s vice-president of health product, Ashley Alexander, made it plainly. Its models “are now capable of reasoning at levels that are better than clinician level,” she said, per The Verge.
Pressed on it, the company’s health lead Karan Singhal quickly softened the line. He would “temper” that, he said, though “individual studies” pointed that way. The headline claim did not survive the first follow-up question.
