HealthTap members now have access to the new version of Dr. A.I.™, a pre-appointment interview tool that enhances visits by providing more meaningful time with the doctor.

Dr. A.I.™ is an artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT 4 that conducts patient interviews based on their medical history and the reason for their visit. It quickly and accurately:

• Gathers a wealth of information in a human-like conversation;
• Summarizes it, and;
• Sends the summary to a HealthTap doctor in a concise, organized format.

The result is that our doctors spend less time taking notes and more time delivering personalized care during virtual visits.

“The patient information provided to HealthTap doctors by Dr. A.I.™ lets us be more precise and informed during the doctor visit,” said Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge, HealthTap’s chief medical officer. “The world wonders how we got along before telemedicine; soon we’ll wonder what we did before Dr. A.I.™.”

Dr. A.I.™ combines the benefits of reviewing basic health information during a doctor visit with the consistency, speed, and accuracy made possible by artificial intelligence. Because it’s powered by ChatGPT, Dr. A.I.™ leverages the entire data trove of Open A.I. and gets smarter over time. 

Additionally, Dr. A.I.™ has the potential to deliver more effective care. A 2023 report published in  JAMA®, the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that A.I.-generated responses to patient questions were considered higher quality than physician-generated answers 78.6% of the time.

“By automating the transactional parts of the patient interview, we free up time for the doctor to build the relationship and have a more substantive conversation about the patient’s health,” said HealthTap founder and CEO Sean Mehra. “HealthTap’s Dr. A.I.™. is yet another step change in how we’re delivering more personalized healthcare quickly and efficiently, and making it affordable to everyone.”

HealthTap, along with the medical community at large, is taking great care to navigate the opportunities and concerns presented by A.I. For HealthTap, A.I. will never replace the expertise of human doctors and other medical professionals. Rather, it’s a tool that allows them to spend more quality time with patients, accessibly and affordably.
