Open AI recently introduced ChatGPT Health, a new feature within ChatGPT designed to support health and wellness questions. The launch is in response to the AI chatbot reportedly receiving millions of health-related questions each day, highlighting a growing public interest in AI-powered medical information.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Health aims to provide users with a more focused experience for navigating health concerns, wellness topics, and medical questions.
Clearly, there is an increasing demand for accessible and conversational health information. However, while the tools may increase access to information, ensuring accuracy, equity, and responsible use remains a critical challenge.
David Liebovitz, MD, an expert in artificial intelligence in clinical medicine at Northwestern University, shares his thoughts on how ChatGPT Health may affect the patient-doctor relationship, and how healthcare professionals (HCPs) can safely guide appropriate use of AI health tools.
