OpenAI offers a set of AI tools built specifically for hospitals and healthcare organizations, including a version of ChatGPT designed to meet U.S. patient privacy law (HIPAA). These tools help with tasks like summarizing patient charts, drafting clinical documents, and adapting health education materials. Major institutions including Stanford Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, and Boston Children's Hospital are users.

Details

OpenAI for Healthcare launched in 2025, powered by GPT-5.2 models. The product supports HIPAA compliance under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), meaning healthcare providers can process protected patient information. Clinical applications include synthesizing medical evidence, drafting documentation, adapting patient education materials, and supporting care coordination. Third-party companies including Abridge, Ambience, and EliseAI build specialized healthcare tools on top of the OpenAI API. OpenAI partnered with more than 260 licensed physicians across 60 countries to evaluate the tools' clinical accuracy before launch.

Other practices by OpenAI

Creative GenSora was OpenAI's tool for generating short video clips from a text description or uploaded image. OpenAI announced on March 24, 2026 that it is shutting down Sora entirely — including the app and API — citing the need to reallocate computing resources toward higher-priority products. The shutdown comes just three months after a landmark deal with Disney, which is also now cancelled.OtherIn February 2026, OpenAI signed a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy its AI models in classified military environments. The deal — worth up to $200 million — covers uses like military healthcare, program data analysis, and cyber defense. It came days after the Pentagon blacklisted rival Anthropic for refusing to drop restrictions on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons use.RecommendationSince February 2026, ChatGPT shows sponsored ads to users on its free and low-cost Go tiers, matched to the topic of the current conversation. Someone asking about recipes might see an ad for a grocery delivery service. Ads are clearly labeled as sponsored and appear separately from ChatGPT's answers, which OpenAI says are never influenced by advertisers.
