Artificial intelligence is becoming a larger part of health care, raising an important question: can AI outperform doctors? Across diagnostics, drug discovery, patient support, and medical research, AI is already being used to analyze data, support clinical decisions, and make health information more accessible. Some experts believe patients should use AI more often for basic health questions, while others warn that the technology still requires careful oversight. The debate

Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of how people search for health information, but that convenience is raising serious concerns. Nearly 8 in 10 adults in the United States already turn to the internet for health answers, and more than 1 in 5 adults worldwide are now going directly to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The attraction is obvious. These tools are fast, free, and available at any time, which can feel especially helpful when doctor appointment

Artificial intelligence is opening up new possibilities in one of healthcare’s most urgent areas: detecting heart failure before it becomes a serious and potentially life threatening condition.

By reducing time spent on paperwork, scheduling, and documentation, the system allows clinicians to focus more on de

MyFitnessPal has acquired Cal AI, the viral AI powered calorie tracking app built by teenage founders, marking one of the most notable consumer AI deals of the year. The acquisition follows months of pursuit and reflects a broader shift in health tech, where legacy platforms are increasingly buying fast growing AI native startups rather than attempting to rebuild their own systems from scratch (Bort; The Tech Buzz).

Google has removed some of its AI Overviews for specific health related searches after an investigation by the Guardian found that the feature was providing misleading and potentially dangerous medical information. AI Overviews are generative AI summaries that appear at the top of Google Search results and are designed to give users quick snapshots of information. While Google has repeatedly described these summaries as helpful and reliable, the investigation raised serious

OpenAI has announced the launch of ChatGPT Health, a new dedicated experience designed to support the growing number of people who turn to ChatGPT for health and wellness information.
