OpenAI outlines proactive AI health assistant and clinician copilot plans
OpenAI health lead Karan Singhal said the company is exploring a proactive personal health assistant spanning pre-visit, in-visit and post-visit care, including appointment, insurance, treatment-plan and billing support. OpenAI is also testing Clinician Copilot with Penda Health and working with Epic to bring ChatGPT into clinical workflows. The interview also covered life-science efforts involving GPT-Rosalind and the acquisition of Orchestra Bio.
The plans expand ChatGPT from answering health questions toward integrated patient and clinician tools, while trust, privacy, workflow integration and clinical-outcome validation remain unresolved.
“如果你想约一位专科医生，有时要等上几个星期，甚至几个月。你可能得花大量时间弄清怎样才能约到号、如何安排日程。折腾了这么久，最后也许只能和医生谈15分钟；你觉得自己准备得还不够充分，走出诊室时才想起来：‘糟了，我还有6个问题想问’。”
在一场访谈中，OpenAI健康板块负责人Karan Singhal点出如今普遍存在的医疗服务困境。哪怕是在医疗资源发达的美国，患者仍然会面临以上种种问题。并且，医疗需求不会随着一次门诊的结束消失。在两次就诊之间，患者也需要理解检查结果，判断接下来应该做什么。
Karan谈到，每周有超过3亿人使用ChatGPT询问健康相关问题。
对OpenAI而言，这是庞大的需求量，更是一份责任。AI不应止步于提问题，给答案，还应该逐步成为持续的健康助手，甚至辅助医生识别潜在风险、连接医疗服务，在未来帮助人们更早发现健康变化。
