OpenAI and Anthropic Introduce AI Chatbots for Personalized Health Information

In January, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a chatbot designed to analyze users' medical records, wellness apps, and wearable data to provide personalized health information. Anthropic offers similar features through its Claude chatbot. Both companies emphasize these tools are not substitutes for professional medical care and should not be used for diagnosis. While AI chatbots can explain test results and help prepare for doctor visits, experts caution they may sometimes provide inaccurate advice. Users should also consider privacy concerns when sharing health data.
