Agadir – OpenAI says it has launched ChatGPT Health to enable users to discuss health-related topics with ChatGPT. This new feature was released after OpenAI reports showed over 230 million health-related queries asked each week.
ChatGPT Health will separate health related discussions from general chats, ensuring that health-related contexts don’t arise in regular interactions with the AI, Open AI has pledged. When users begin health discussions outside the Health section, the AI will suggest transiting the conversation to the dedicated area.
Within the Health feature, the AI will refer to previous interactions from its general experience, which assist in forming relevant answers to the inquiries.
ChatGPT Health will also have the capability to connect with personal data or medical records from wellness applications like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. Yet conversations in the Health section will not be utilized for model training, Open AI has clarified.
Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, said that ChatGPT Health addresses various issues in healthcare, such as high costs, limited access, overcrowded doctors’ schedules, and continuity of care challenges.
“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.” Simo explained.
Claude for healthcare following OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health
Following the announcement of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health, Anthropic also revealed the new feature of Claude for Healthcare.
Like ChatGPT Health, Claude for Healthcare allows users to connect health data from various devices, including smartphones and smartwatches.
However, Anthropic claims that its product offers more advanced capabilities compared to ChatGPT Health, which appears to concentrate more on patient interactions.
Claude includes connectors that enable the AI to access various platforms and databases, which can operate faster. These include resources like the CMS Coverage Database, ICD-10 codes, the National Provider Identifier Standard, and PubMed.
