“OpenAI just announced a suite of new products designed for health care professionals that will roll out to leading medical institutions on Thursday, a company spokesperson told Axios.
Why it matters: Although over 40 million users already use ChatGPT for health information daily, providers using the tab must be careful to ensure that the sometimes hallucinatory chatbot gives professionals accurate advice and maintains patient privacy laws.
How it works: ChatGPT for Healthcare is powered by GPT‑5 models that OpenAI says were built for health care and evaluated through physician-led testing across benchmarks, including HealthBench and GDPval.
- Physicians will also be able to review patient data, with options for ‘customer-managed encryption keys’ to remain HIPAA compliant.
- The models include peer-reviewed research studies, public health guidance, and clinical guidelines with clear citations that include titles, journals, and publication dates to support quick source-checking, according to OpenAI’s blog post.”
