Smart AI helpers are coming to hospitals and doctor's offices around the world. These AI helpers can do jobs by themselves without a person telling them what to do each time. Think of them like robot workers that learn and make decisions on their own.

One big piece of news this week is that OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health. This new tool keeps your health information safe and private while helping you understand your medical bills and talk to doctors. Around 40 million people use ChatGPT every single day to ask health questions. Another company called Anthropic also launched Claude for Healthcare to help doctors and patients understand medical information better.

Hospitals are getting ready to use AI agents in many different ways. These smart computer programs can do boring office work, help doctors remember important information about patients, and even help manage when patients come in for appointments. In the United States, Utah is testing a new system where AI automatically fills prescription medicine refills for common medications.

More hospitals are using AI than ever before. In the United States, almost one-third of health systems are now paying for AI tools, which is three times more than other types of businesses. Doctors say this helps them spend less time on paperwork and more time helping sick people.

But there is something important to remember: humans still need to check the work that AI does. Doctors and nurses need to make sure the AI is correct and safe before trusting it completely with patient care.
