OpenAI this week introduced ChatGPT Health, "a dedicated experience in ChatGPT designed for health and wellness," as a response to the more than 40 million people who ask ChatGPT a health care-related question every day, the company said.
Northwestern University AI-in-clinical-medicine expert Dr. David Liebovitz can speak to media about the pros and cons of the new platform, including how it is "a significant step forward from patients showing up with Google searches" but also how "patients must understand that health data shared with ChatGPT is not protected by HIPAA," unlike in conversations with physicians or therapists. He also can speak to what true democratization of health AI looks like, and what Northwestern University research is driving to make these advances practical for patients.
