Study finds ChatGPT Health under-triages about half of emergencies

TL;DR Summary
A Nature Medicine study tested ChatGPT Health with 60 real-life medical scenarios and found it under-triaged 51.6% of emergencies and over-triaged 64.8% of non-urgent cases, with some life-threatening events misclassified, though stroke was correctly triaged 100%. OpenAI says ChatGPT Health isn’t designed for diagnosis and emphasizes clinician involvement; researchers urge more rigorous testing before wider use.
