ChatGPT helps people with Health queries

ChatGPT helps people understand medical explanations and lab results and prepare questions for appointments. OpenAI reported in July 2026 that more than 300 million people asked ChatGPT health questions each week. An independent February 2026 study tested ChatGPT explanations of scan reports with 2,000 U.S. adults. Participants answered questions about the findings correctly 68% of the time with ChatGPT's plain language reports compared to 58% with the original reports. They also understood follow up instructions better and reported greater confidence and less anxiety.
