This was announced in January (https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/) but this now appears to be the GA rollout.

My experience with this was pretty bad initially. It's clear Epic and other players don't want to be disintermediated and they're going to make things as inconvenient and broken as possible. Par for the course in healthcare. I had much better results simply downloading test results and appointment notes and asking ChatGPT about them in regular chats.

I also had a good experience providing my full genetic sequence (raw data downloaded from sequencing.com) to Claude Code and having it do analysis for me. It downloaded a bunch of bioinformatics tools and did a good job answering my questions.

"I also had a good experience providing my full genetic sequence" is a very funny sentence out of context.

I'm sure plenty of people will be aghast at the concept, citing privacy or accuracy concerns. So far I am still alive and well, and have not experienced any issues despite the total destruction of my sacred medical privacy implied by providing my genetic code to a chatbot. I'll keep HN updated should any terrible consequences befall me.
