OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Healthcare, a product that expands the company’s footprint into hospitals and health systems by offering a dedicated, clinician-facing workflow for health conversations and care navigation. Concurrently, OpenAI said some users can feed personal health records, lab results and app data into ChatGPT to get more tailored coaching and guidance. The move opens commercial engagement with providers but also rekindles debate on data privacy, model reliability and regulatory risk. OpenAI framed the tool as a clinician and patient aid not intended to replace medical judgment; health experts caution that integration requires strict privacy controls and clinical validation. The announcements come as regulators and hospital systems weigh guardrails for AI in healthcare, and they will shape commercial adoption if OpenAI secures data‑use agreements with large health systems.
