ChatGPT Health is a healthcare-focused use of ChatGPT introduced by OpenAI to support patients, clinicians, and healthcare organizations with reliable, safety-oriented AI assistance. It’s designed to help explain medical information, assist with administrative tasks, and improve access to health knowledge while following stricter safeguards than general-purpose AI.

It does not replace doctors. Its goal is to support decision-making, education, and workflows in healthcare settings.
