Following OpenAI's announcement of the new "ChatGPT Health" feature, AI startup Anthropic's "Claude" product will also launch a new healthcare service that not only supports the integration of personal health data from Apple Health but also promises not to use customer data to train its models.
Plans to Enhance Biological Research Functions
Anthropic stated that the new feature complies with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards, meaning hospitals, healthcare institutions, and consumers can safely use the tool to handle protected health data. At the same time, Anthropic will integrate scientific databases into the product and enhance functions related to biological research.
At the consumer level, Anthropic allows users to export health data from applications such as Apple Health and Function Health, aiming to assist users in integrating data and sharing medical history records with healthcare providers.
Anthropic's product director Mike Krieger stated that as long as the regulatory and data aspects are handled correctly, the healthcare field is where AI can have the greatest impact. He emphasized that the new tool is designed to empower people with more knowledge, enabling them to gain deeper understanding when discussing their data with healthcare providers.
85% of Clinical Staff Report Increased Efficiency
Anthropic also revealed that one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the U.S., Banner Health, has over 22,000 clinical staff using Claude, with 85% of users reporting improvements in work efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk and Stanford Health Care are also among its partners.
