Written By Kirsten McCaffery

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Health aims to let users link personal medical records and wellness apps to get tailored health insights, but it’s stirring debate about trust and safety. The company says the tool isn’t intended to replace doctors or provide diagnoses, instead helping users understand patterns, lab results, insurance options and everyday health questions.
