OpenAI wants to make sure that any medical information you get from ChatGPT is as accurate as possible. Approximately 40 million people a day rely on ChatGPT for medical questions. In response, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health, a "dedicated experience" in ChatGPT that's centered around health and wellness. The feature will enable you to combine your medical records and wearable data with the AI's intelligence, "to ground conversations in your own health information," according to OpenAI. You can use it to help you prepare for your next appointment, plan questions to ask your doctor, receive customized diet plans or workout routines, and more.
AI plays an important role-but not by fixing fragmented data on its own. The work of organizing, connecting, and interpreting healthcare information still belongs to people and the systems they build.

As a long-time social worker, Merrill started the Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation in 1992. In working with cancer patients for the past 33 years, Merrill saw a great need to create a strong community for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

Between March 2020 and March 2022, over 100 million telemedicine services were delivered to approximately 17 million Australians. The Australian government invested $409 million to make telehealth permanent, whilst the UK announced £600 million for digital health infrastructure in April 2025. Patient adoption is equally impressive: 60% find telemedicine more convenient than in-person appointments, 55% report higher satisfaction with teleconsultations, and 74% of millennials prefer virtual appointments for routine care. These aren't temporary shifts; they represent a fundamental transformation in healthcare delivery.
