"Many of us already use generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as
ChatGPT for health advice. They give quick, confident and personalised answers,
and the experience can feel more private than speaking to a human.

Now, several AI companies have unveiled dedicated “health and wellness” tools.
The most prominent is ChatGPT Health, launched by OpenAI earlier this month.

ChatGPT Health promises to generate more personalised answers, by allowing
users to link medical records and wellness apps, upload diagnostic imaging and
interpret test results.

But how does it really work? And is it safe?

Most of what we know about this new tool comes from the company that launched
it, and questions remain about how ChatGPT Health would work in Australia.
Currently, users in Australia can sign up for a waitlist to request access.

Let’s take a look."
