This is big! All verified US clinicians get free GPT-6 Astra Pro!
In my biomedical testing, it’s an amazing model, at the level of world expert on any medical topic, at this point!
Highly recommend every physician to use it routinely!
Verified U.S. clinicians can get free GPT-6 Astra (Pro) access today via ChatGPT for Clinicians.

ChatGPT for Clinicians as a thought partner helps me bring better care to my patients. Getting answers to my nuanced questions in real time, backed by the latest evidence and guidelines, means my patients don’t have to wait as long for advice or solutions that make a difference.

Leading this work has been one of the greatest privileges of my career.
I truly believe thoughtfully built AI can improve lives and drive meaningful change in health and healthcare. Proud of this team and excited to share a bit more about what we've been building. ❤️🩺
GPT-5.5 Instant is now on par with our frontier Thinking models for health-related questions.
Every week, more than 230 million people turn to ChatGPT with health and wellness questions, and GPT-5.5 Instant is better at recognizing when urgent care may be needed, asking for relevant context, explaining uncertainty, and making complex information easier to understand.
Because GPT-5.5 Instant is available to all free users in ChatGPT, these improvements can help more people.
Physician-led evaluation was critical to making these major intelligence gains.
This is one of those rare moments where clinician input was truly centered in the design of a health tech product. OpenAI is committed to unlocking the potential of LLMs to improve health outcomes, and empowering clinicians is a vital step! ❤️ 🩺
There is a lot to consider when someone asks a question about their health. Efforts to improve model performance in this domain are truly making a difference in the health of the world. #Healthbench
Replying to @OpenAI
GPT-5 is our best model yet for health-related questions, empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health.
The model now provides more precise and reliable responses, adapting to the user’s context, knowledge level, and geography.
Empowering individuals to understand, participate in and advocate for their care is one of the most powerful ways LLM tools will improve the health of the world ❤️🩹
Last October, my wife was diagnosed with three cancers in a single week.
Today, we told that story on the GPT-5 livestream with @sama.
Not because it’s easy to tell, but because someone facing that news today should know there’s a new kind of lifeline.
🧵
The potential to support frontline clinicians with AI - not to replace, but to uplift - is immense!
A caring clinician + the right AI tool can = better care in real-world clinical settings.
I’m so proud to be part of this work and grateful to this team for making it real!
@thekaransinghal @rahularoradfs @rldistler @doctorroko
📣 Excited to share our real-world study of an LLM clinical copilot, a collab between @OpenAI and @PendaHealth.
Across 39,849 live patient visits, clinicians with AI had a 16% relative reduction in diagnostic errors and a 13% reduction in treatment errors vs. those without. 🧵
I’m incredibly proud to lead the physician team contributing to OpenAI’s #Healthbench and to have helped shape the framework for its design. Evaluating how AI performs on real health challenges is essential!
📣 Proud to share HealthBench, an open-source benchmark from our Health AI team at OpenAI, measuring LLM performance and safety across 5000 realistic health conversations. 🧵
Unlike previous narrow benchmarks, HealthBench enables meaningful open-ended evaluation through 48,562 unique physician-written rubric criteria spanning several health contexts (e.g., emergencies, global health) and behavioral dimensions (e.g., accuracy, instruction following, communication).

I’ll be forever impressed by and indebted to @rahularoradfs whose strong, tenacious leadership made this project possible!
Special thanks to the physician advisors on this work @RazaSN, @OSullivan Frida Vizcaino, Antoine Denis, Pamir Cerci, and TingTing Yan 🫶🏻
At @NORCNews, we are diving into the research agenda that is needed to inform the #ethical development of #AI products for #healthCommunication. @socialibriumm and I outline some of our guiding principles here for @statnews.
The four fundamental principles of medical ethics — non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and justice — should guide the development of health-related AI applications. trib.al/mWKPuMw
Individuals deserve to have access to accurate and timely health information to answer their health questions. @socialibriumm and I are working on this @NORCNews
Check out peer-reviewed paper, published this week!
In a new article, NORC’s @socialibriumm and @KidsBalanced propose “Health Communication AI” to combat public health misinformation by combining the relatability of social media influencers with the scalability of AI. go.norc.org/3X9vYy0

Thoroughly enjoyed the panel discussion and delivering a keynote on #AIforgood in #healthcommunication at #NASMC24 last week with @socialibriumm
Thanks @WSMConference !
Excited for my keynote delivery tomorrow with @socialibriumm at NASMC 2024 on our approach to using #AI tools to bring a scaled solution to #healthcommunication .
@NORCNews
🌟 Ready to make a difference? Join us at NASMC 2024 and learn how to drive positive change through social marketing. With top-notch speakers and the latest social marketing research, this is the event you can't afford to miss. bit.ly/NASMC24 #NASMC24 #Socialmarketing
Health communicators need to be in the conversation *when and where* it is happening, online and in social media. The only solution for delivering accurate #Health information *at scale* is through #AI. Happy to introduce this project here 🤖
🖥️ Early research suggests #AI can be used to deliver accurate #Health information with empathy. PLOS Your Say contributors @socialibriumm and @KidsBalanced discuss how this #HealthAI technology could be used to combat medical misinformation. plos.io/4b5pZOS @NORCNews
