OpenAI announced today the launch of ChatGPT Health, a feature designed to assist users with health-related inquiries, now accessible to all U.S. users aged 18 and over across all plans. This news follows a lawsuit by a pastor in Florida against the company for providing a potentially harmful suggestion to avoid consulting a doctor.<\/p>\n

The company began pilot testing the feature through a specialized hub in January, enabling users to consolidate data from various services along with personal information from platforms like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal.<\/p>\n

Previously, OpenAI reported that users submitted 230 million health-related inquiries each week. That figure has now risen to 300 million.<\/p>\n

Users are also able to integrate their medical records from healthcare systems such as Epic and Oracle Health, along with platforms like One Medical and Function Health.<\/p>\n

OpenAI previously stated that users were required to utilize the health hub for inquiries regarding health. Now, they have the flexibility to gain insights from connected data across all queries in the health section. During testing, the company found that 70% of health-related inquiries occurred outside the designated hub. With this new feature, users can leverage their health information to gather details about food or allergies in the general chat.<\/p>\n

The company acknowledged that its models have improved in addressing health inquiries. It noted that the smallest model from its latest release, GPT 5.6-Luna, exceeds the performance of GPT 5.5 on the HealthBench evaluation, an open-source benchmark designed by the company to assess large language models (LLMs) on health queries. OpenAI reaffirmed that it does not utilize any user data for model training and collaborates with healthcare professionals to enhance its models in handling health inquiries.<\/p>\n

Despite these advancements, the company emphasizes in its terms that its services are \u201cnot intended for diagnosing or treating any health conditions.\u201d It referenced these clauses in response to the aforementioned lawsuit, additionally informing The New York Times that it is working on ensuring safer health or medical-related responses. With the recent rollout, OpenAI intends for individuals to verify information and make medical decisions based on professional guidance.<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have pointed out that AI tools are unreliable for medical counsel. Nevertheless, this has not prevented companies such as Anthropic and Google from introducing health-oriented AI functionalities.<\/p>\n

Health in ChatGPT is being released to logged-in U.S. users with free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans on the web and iOS this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
