Major Tech Firms Offer Chatbots For Medical Guidance
8.7
OpenAI in January launched ChatGPT Health and rivals like Anthropic have added similar features that analyze medical records, wearables and app data to answer health questions. Companies warn these chatbots are not substitutes for professional care, stress opt-in privacy protections, and independent studies show mixed performance and interaction challenges requiring continued medical judgment.

- 3Advise clinicians and patients to verify AI outputs and seek care for emergency or serious symptoms
