Summary

OpenAI announced the new feature, 'ChatGpt Health.' While it allows users to utilize their health data and wearable device information for personalized wellness advice, concerns persist regarding privacy protection and the accuracy/ethical use of AI-provided medical information.

Details

OpenAI has developed 'ChatGpt Health,' a chatbot that enables users to connect personal electronic health records (EHRs) and data from platforms like Apple Health to receive tailored advice on diet, exercise, and diagnostic results. To ensure secure data sharing, the service collaborates with b.well Connected Health, utilizing FHIR-based APIs for identity verification and consent management. However, experts and activists warn of privacy risks associated with commercial platforms handling highly sensitive health information. Furthermore, there are concerns that AI may provide inaccurate information (hallucinations), potentially leading users to dangerous self-diagnoses. A major legal concern is that mandatory protections like HIPAA in the US do not apply to consumer products such as ChatGpt Health, raising issues regarding data leakage and legal handling. The service is currently rolling out gradually, excluding certain regions like the European Economic Area (SEE) due to regulatory reasons.
