One example is it helps people ask the right questions when they get the chance to speak to an actual healthcare provider. Another example is to help you spot patterns in your health journey (and, if anything, that\u2019s what the current state of AI does well, which is to recognise patterns more than badminton).<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The AI\u2019s responses are <b>based on your existing private health data<\/b>. OpenAI said that ChatGPT Health can be connected to health records and wellness apps, listing down examples like Apple Health, Function, MyFitnessPal, as well as medical records, files, reports, and even your insurance coverage to get a fuller picture on your preparedness and health posture. Explicit user permission is required for such connections. Also, app integration isn\u2019t new to ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Also, ChatGPT Health is presented <b>separately from the rest of your ChatGPT<\/b> conversations. Medical records, connected health app data, and its resulting AI memories are separate from the rest of ChatGPT, while the generated information all stays within the Health sub-category.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It is, however, capable of taking information from your non-Health ChatGPT conversations where relevant (OpenAI gave the example of moving to a new place or a shift in lifestyle). The crucial detail here is that other information can go in to ChatGPT Health, but not out of it to other parts of ChatGPT\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">There\u2019s also the option to <u>enable multi-factor authentication<\/u> if you want to add extra layers of verification for access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">In the US, ChatGPT Health is partnered with b.well, a health data privacy provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-was-chatgpt-health-developed-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">How was ChatGPT Health developed?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Launch of ChatGPT Health\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=1320&amp;q=85 1320w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=1980&amp;q=85 1980w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/840bdb406da881d48f9c3308106fe908c22bad1bd92af61ab29403ae0d9ad367?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.6;contain-intrinsic-size:3000px 1875px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">ChatGPT Health isn\u2019t a doctor, but it can help you ask smarter questions when you finally see one.<\/p>\n<p>Stock Photo: Maxime on Unsplash<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">OpenAI claimed that it worked with 260 physicians in 60 countries to narrow the distinction between helpful and harmful health questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">These 260 individuals provided feedback on model outputs across 30 areas of focus, over 600,000 times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The exact names and fields of expertise of these physicians are not publicly available.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-get-and-use-chatgpt-health-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">How do I get and use ChatGPT Health?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">At launch, OpenAI is providing it free to ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users outside of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">However, there is a registration waitlist, which requires signing up before getting access to the service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">OpenAI plans to expand Health to all ChatGPT users, via web and via the iOS app, in \u201cthe coming weeks\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: <u>OpenAI<\/u><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/lifestyle\/apps\/openai-chatgpt-health-launch-waitlist-fitness-privacy-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Jump List 1.
