Anthropic announced Claude for Healthcare, a suite of AI tools aimed at providers, payers, and patients. Like OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health, the platform can sync health data from phones and wearables without using that data for model training. Claude adds advanced "connectors" to major medical databases such as the CMS Coverage Database, ICD-10, the National Provider Identifier Standard, and PubMed, enabling faster prior‑authorization reviews and research. While industry observers note the risk of hallucination‑prone large language models offering medical advice, both Anthropic and OpenAI caution users to consult qualified healthcare professionals.

Research led by the London School of Economics examined 617 adult social‑care case notes and found that large language models often produce gender‑biased summaries. When the same notes were processed by Meta’s Llama 3 and Google’s Gemma, the latter frequently omitted or softened language describing disability and complexity for female patients. The bias could affect care decisions, as highlighted by contrasting summaries for an 84‑year‑old man and an identical female patient. The study warns that UK health authorities are deploying AI tools without clear disclosure of which models are in use, raising concerns about equitable care. Leer más →
