Open AI Research ChatGPT

40M+ people use ChatGPT daily for health advice, no way.

The Rundown: 

OpenAI just released a new report revealing that over 40M people globally turn to ChatGPT for health information daily, with over 5% of all messages now related to healthcare topics. 

I, Tim, am guilty of such action in the past few years, not just months!

Common uses include symptom checking, decoding medical jargon, spotting billing errors, and preparing for doctor visits.

70% of health-related chats happen outside normal clinic hours, with around 600K weekly messages coming from rural "hospital deserts."

Users send 1.6-1.9M health insurance questions weekly, covering plan comparisons, billing disputes, and claim appeals.

The report also included policy proposals urging the FDA to create clearer pathways for AI medical devices.

Why it matters: Healthcare is clearly already a massive AI use case, and with wearable integrations, medical breakthroughs, and Open AI push for clearer FDA pathways, it's only getting bigger. 

The policy proposals tucked into the report hint at a future where ChatGPT’s personalized insights may look like a digital doctor.

Thank you for reading,

Tim.
