OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a new feature within the ChatGPT application designed to address medical inquiries and provide a comprehensive platform for managing users' health concerns.
Features of ChatGPT Health
The new section aims to:
Centralize medical records in one location.
Integrate with other health applications such as Apple Health and MyFitnessPal to provide a holistic view of user health.
Offer a separate chat history and memory function to keep health-related conversations distinct from other ChatGPT interactions.
Implement additional security measures, including encryption and multi-factor authentication, while assuring users that health conversations will not be used for AI model training.
Usage and Limitations
OpenAI has clarified that ChatGPT Health is not intended for direct medical diagnosis or treatment but aims to provide information on:
physical well-being
nutrition
mental health in a consultative manner, directing users to real-world resources and crisis hotlines.
The announcement also noted that the program has been enhanced in collaboration with over 170 mental health experts to improve the AI's ability to handle sensitive conversations and psychological pressures.
Improving Information Accuracy
ChatGPT Health is based on the GPT-5 model, which has shown an eightfold reduction in information "hallucination" compared to previous models, thereby enhancing the accuracy of health-related information provided.
Privacy and Security
This initiative raises concerns regarding the privacy of health data and its usage, particularly in light of data breaches. OpenAI assures that the new feature includes measures to protect and secure sensitive information within a secure environment.
