Anthropic Launches Claude for Healthcare, Challenging ChatGPT Health in AI Race

• Anthropic enters healthcare AI with Claude for Healthcare, targeting medical providers, insurers, and patients.
• This follows OpenAI's ChatGPT Health, indicating healthcare is a major AI frontier for both consumer and enterprise applications.
• Claude for Healthcare focuses on back-office tasks, using 'connectors' to integrate with medical databases like CMS, ICD-10, NPI, and PubMed.
• A key application is automating prior authorization, a time-consuming process for clinicians, aiming to reduce documentation burden.
• Both Anthropic and OpenAI acknowledge users discuss health with their AI, but stress these tools are not substitutes for professional medical advice.
