OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, announced the launch of a new service called ChatGPT Health. This is a separate feature within the chatbot, specifically designed for conversations on topics related to the user’s health and well-being.
OpenAI notes that interest in medical questions in AI-powered conversations is already extremely high: more than 230 million people use the AI network weekly to clarify symptoms or search for information on possible treatments. Approximately 70% of these inquiries occur outside of medical office hours. Residents of rural areas and socially vulnerable regions also generate approximately 600,000 health-related queries each week.
The new feature allows users to connect their medical data and popular health tracking apps, such as Apple Health or MyFitnessPal. This enables more accurate and personalized responses. All such conversations will be automatically structured and saved in a dedicated “Health” tab.
The developers have placed particular emphasis on privacy. Unlike standard chats, ChatGPT Health uses enhanced security measures and additional encryption. Conversations and uploaded files from this section are not used to train the underlying AI models.
OpenAI also emphasizes that the service does not replace a doctor and is not intended to diagnose. Its primary purpose is to help users better prepare for a visit to a specialist. Access to ChatGPT Health is planned to be available to all ChatGPT users in the coming weeks on the web version and iOS devices.
The company previously expanded the chatbot’s functionality by integrating popular third-party services, allowing users to order a taxi, book accommodations, create music playlists, and perform other everyday tasks directly within the chat.
As a reminder, the scientists created a robot smaller than a grain of salt.
