OpenAI makes ChatGPT Health available to all U.S. users
OpenAI has expanded its ChatGPT Health feature to all U.S. users over 18, allowing integration with personal medical records and health apps. This rollout follows a recent lawsuit against the company regarding potentially dangerous medical advice provided by the AI.
Why it matters
The expansion of AI into healthcare raises significant regulatory and safety concerns regarding the accuracy and liability of automated medical guidance.
OpenAI said today it is making ChatGPT Health, a feature that helps users with health-related queries, available to all U.S.-based users over 18 across all plans. The announcement comes a day after a Florida-based pastor sued the company for giving a near-fatal suggestion not to consult a doctor .
The company started testing the feature through a dedicated hub earlier in January, allowing users to integrate data from other services and their personal information from services such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal.
At that time, OpenAI said users were asking 230 million health-related queries each week. That number has now gone up to 300 million.
Users can also integrate their medical records from hospital systems like Epic and Oracle Health, and health platforms like One Medical and Function Health.
