OpenAI’s Healthcare experience.

On this day, 2026,08,01, ChatGPT Health has just announced a new private experience within its chatbot that lets users pull up their medical records and fitness app data.

ChatGPT has a long-standing history in health and fitness information. 

Health chats will get their own memory and stronger encryption for privacy. 

OpenAI is committing not to use those conversations for training purposes.

OpenAI just recently released from their system that shows 40M+ users turn to ChatGPT daily for all sorts of health and fitness information. 

I am guilty of such inquiries on health and fitness, along with just general information.

Pulling up actual medical records is currently only available to U.S. users, but that is not entirely true. 

These platforms have been available in Canada for many years now. 

OpenAI's ChatGPT has been a great source of information on any subject since it appeared with the first version made widely available by OpenAI, which was launched on November 30, 2022.

Since today is January 8, 2026, that makes ChatGPT about 3 years and 1 month old.

If you’re asking about the model family (GPT-series), that goes back further. 

GPT-1 was released by OpenAI in 2018, but the ChatGPT product itself is from late 2022.

OpenAI has joined education and shopping, but the stakes in healthcare are obviously much higher.

With the AI prescriptions refill news for the US and AI devices gaining FDA traction, Health drops right as the tech is gaining some serious new medical traction.

Utah just became the first state to let an AI system legally approve prescription refills on its own, partnering with health-tech Doctronic, to give patients with chronic conditions a faster path to routine medication renewals.

The system covers nearly 200 drugs, including blood pressure meds, birth control, and SSRIs, with pain management and ADHD treatments, with injectables being off limits.

When tested against 500 urgent care cases, the AI's decisions aligned with doctors' 99% of the time, with edge cases rerouted to human doctors.

Doctronic will charge $4 for refills and is eyeing interest in Texas, Arizona, and Missouri,  with leadership predicting a dozen states could follow in 2026.

As we’ve seen with ChatGPT’s massive usage numbers for healthcare, a major transformation is already underway in the worldwide medical system.

Thank you for reading, 

Tim.

Criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers:

 Like I've said before, Donald Trump's dictatorship will create a world 3 with revenge. Criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers: Venezuela rushes to criminalize tanker seizures after Trump threats. Story by Regina Garcia Cano. Venezuela’s National Assembly has approved a measure that criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers and cargo ships. The bill, introduced, debated and approved within two days, makes illegal a broad range of activities that can hinder navigation and commerce in the South American country. The legislation comes after U.S. forces seized two tankers carrying Venezuelan oil in international waters in recent weeks. The seizures are the latest strategy in the dictatorship of President Donald Trump's four-month pressure campaign on Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro. The tankers are part of what the Trump administration has said is a fleet Venezuela uses to evade U.S. economic sanctions. The unicameral assembly, which is controlled by Venezuela's ruling...

We are on the edge of world war111

 Part of this article is from MSN News.  Something that the people are not ready for is world war111.  This has been heating up for a while; there have been signs, but nothing that bad till Donald Trump became the president of the U.S. We are on the edge of world war111, and nobody can reverse the disaster that is about to happen with the Trump dictatorship. Pentagon report revealing China is readying missiles sparks WWIII fear, Chinese People's Liberation Army. A brand new report from the Pentagon has revealed that China has armed over 100 long-range nuclear missiles which could reach the US in an all-out war.  The December 23 report to Congress found China's military has placed more than 100 DF-31 missiles, which are powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), into underground launch sites called silos.  These missiles use solid fuel, meaning they're ready to launch quickly without needing extra preparation, unlike older liquid-fueled ones that take ...

Antibacterial soaps are not more effective,

Health concern partial report by Alisha  McDarris Published Dec 23, 2025 10:00 AM EST Ditch the antibacterial soap this cold and flu season! The most dreaded time of year rolls around every winter like clockwork: cold and flu season.  The time when hand washing increases, sanitizing surfaces intensifies, and old and young schedule regular seasonal vaccines in an attempt to prevent sickness from descending on their households. But there’s one piece of ammunition you should absolutely skip this season—and all year-round—because it does more harm than good: antibacterial hand soap. While hand washing is vitally important to curb the spread of disease, soap advertised as antibacterial not only doesn’t protect you better from disease, but it has far-reaching and possibly harmful effects on your health and the environment. Here’s why to ditch it and use plain soap instead. How does soap even work? Regular soap can come in many forms: foaming liquid, bars, and gels. It is a little mo...
