OpenAI announces ChatGPT for healthcare, clinicians and institutions

Just a couple of days ago, OpenAI announced health tools for consumers and patients — and now it’s coming for the doctors and hospitals, with a HIPAA compliant AI product.

ChatGPT for healthcare can instantly draw upon millions of peer-reviewed research studies, health guidance and clinical guidelines, and can help clinicians reason through cases with greater confidence, OpenAI says.

We also know from the earlier days of ChatGPT that it can have an uncanny ability to compare millions of medical images to support a diagnosis — by doctors, not patients.

600,000 outcomes tested
The product is the culmination of two years of partnering with 260 licensed physicians from 60 countries to evaluate performance, reviewing more than 600,000 model outputs spanning 30 medical areas.

It can also «significantly» improve patient outcomes, OpenAI says, and has the added benefit of reducing administrative tasks, freeing up more time for patients.

OpenAI’s mission statement says to make AI that benefits all of humanity, and healthcare is a priority in reaching this goal. It has already been adopted by more than ten hospitals.
