“This ain’t your daddy’s WebMD” - Sam Altman, probably…
Raise your hand if your first time with ChatGPT was asking “Why does my finger itch?”. If it was good news, OpenAI just announced ChatGPT Health, which is either the most obvious product launch of all time or the quiet beginning of the end of sanity.

In short, the goal is basically simple in the way a guillotine is simple: you can now plug your medical records, lab results, and wellness apps directly into ChatGPT and have it walk you through what’s going on with your body. We’re talking about bloodwork, wearables, diet, exercise… all the works. From there, you can go to sleep every night with the uncertainty that maybe… just maybe, the grim reaper is coming that night.

Per OpenAI, 200 million people are already asking ChatGPT health questions every week, which means humanity has collectively decided that Googling symptoms was too stressful and WebMD was actively trying to kill us. “Is this genital warts or a pimple?” is now a core AI workload. Incredible. Of course, OpenAI is covering their basis with the full no diagnoses, no treatments, no replacing doctors, and no HIPAA-safe routine. But Sam Weird Al-tman absolutely knows what he’s doing here. Health isn’t a side quest… it’s the most data-rich, emotionally charged, habit-forming category imaginable (just ask 23andMe). Meaning, if ChatGPT becomes the first place you go when something feels off (which it already is), then OpenAI just secured another moat.
Which brings me to this: Once people get used to a system that can read their bloodwork, track their sleep, notice patterns, and explain things in plain English… going back to the old system is going to feel insane. Like choosing to wait on hold when you could just text. Translation: This doesn’t kill healthcare… it just kills the parts everyone hates.

And if you think hospitals, insurers, and legacy health tech companies aren’t sweating right now, you’re not paying attention. Because once the robot knows your body better than the portal does, the portal is done. Fun times. Meaning, keep your eyes on this story and place your bets accordingly, friends. Until next time…
