Improving health information in ChatGPT
Improving health information in ChatGPT
Author: OpenAI – Duration: 00:02:52
Health is one of the most meaningful ways to use ChatGPT. Every week, more than 230 million people turn to ChatGPT for help with health and wellness issues: making sense of health information, understanding lab results, preparing for appointments, navigating insurance, adopting healthier habits, and figuring out what to ask next. With GPT‑5.5 Instant, we see substantial progress in healthcare, with improvements in recognizing when urgent care may be needed, requesting relevant context, explaining uncertainty, and simplifying complex information. On our most challenging health assessments, GPT‑5.5 Instant now performs at a level comparable to our Frontier Thinking models. Because it is available to all free ChatGPT users, more people can benefit from these improvements. These advances reflect both advances in model capabilities and the physician-led work behind our health assessments. As part of our efforts, a global network of physicians helps define what “good” looks like in real health situations by reviewing examples of model responses, describing ideal behavior, and identifying failure modes. Working with doctors allows us to measure health progress and improve ChatGPT's response over time. Learn more: https://openai.com/index/improving-health-intelligence-in-chatgpt/
