ChatGPT Health Now Accessible
OpenAI has announced that its ChatGPT Health feature is now available to all U.S.-based users aged 18 and older. This rollout follows a recent lawsuit against the company concerning a health-related suggestion made by the AI. The feature aims to assist users with health inquiries and integrates data from various health services.
Integration with Health Services
Initially tested through a dedicated hub earlier this year, ChatGPT Health allows users to connect their personal health information from platforms like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. Users can also incorporate medical records from systems such as Epic and Oracle Health, along with health platforms like One Medical.
Increased Usage and Performance Improvements
Since the feature’s introduction, the number of health-related queries has surged from 230 million to 300 million weekly. OpenAI has noted that users can now utilize their health data for general inquiries, such as food recommendations or allergy information, without needing to access the dedicated health hub.
Safety and Limitations
Despite advancements in the model’s ability to handle health-related questions, OpenAI maintains that its services are not intended for diagnosing or treating health conditions. This stance was reiterated in response to the recent lawsuit. The company collaborates with medical professionals to enhance the accuracy of its health-related responses while urging users to seek professional medical advice for serious health decisions.
Availability
ChatGPT Health is rolling out this week for U.S. users on free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, accessible via web and iOS platforms.
