""Three weeks ago I woke up from a nap and found some red spots all over my legs," begins one such account in a video from Bethany Crystal, who runs a consulting business and lives in New York. After an exchange with ChatGPT, she recounts it telling her, "You need immediate evaluation for possible bleeding risk." "What ensued was a harrowing three day experience that got increasingly scary," says Crystal,"
""Hundreds of millions of people now consult ChatGPT weekly for wellness advice, according to its maker, OpenAI. In early January, the company announced the launch of a new platform, ChatGPT Health, which it says offers enhanced security for sharing medical records and data. It joins other AI tools such as My Doctor Friend in promising to partner with patients on navigating health care.""
AI chatbots such as ChatGPT are being used by hundreds of millions for wellness advice and are launching health-specific platforms with enhanced data security. Some users report that AI prompted urgent evaluation that led to diagnoses of serious conditions, demonstrating potential for timely triage. Clinicians commonly apply heuristics favoring common diagnoses under time pressure, while AI can perform prolonged, exhaustive inquiry without the same time constraints. AI tools are integrating into patient workflows, promising assistance with navigating care, sharing medical records, and changing how patients receive information and how practitioners diagnose and communicate.
