Patients are using AI chatbots like ChatGPT to interpret lab results from online portals. While this can help them understand complex data, experts warn of significant risks, including inaccurate information and privacy violations.

Lab results confusing? Some patients use AI to interpret them, for better or worse
While patients wait to hear back from their doctors about test results, many turn to AI assistants for answers. There are issues with privacy and accuracy.
