Conversations in ChatGPT Health will be stored separately from other chats and will not be used to train AI tools, says OpenAI. Fima emphasizes that the tool is not intended for “diagnosis or treatment.”
The new feature raises privacy concerns. Andrew Crawford, of the US nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology, said it was “crucial” to maintain “tight” protections for users' health data.
“New AI-powered health tools hold the promise of empowering patients and improving health outcomes, but health data is some of the most sensitive information people can share and must be protected,” Crawford said, as quoted by the BBC.
Millions of people ask ChatGPT about their health
According to OpenAI, over 230 million people ask the chatbot questions about their health and well-being every week.
Users can share data from apps like Apple Health, Peloton and MyFitnessPal, as well as share medical records that can be used to provide better answers to health-related questions.

The feature has not yet launched in Switzerland and the European Economic Area, where tech companies must comply with strict regulations on the processing and protection of user data, notes the BBC.
