Summary: OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT Health, and I reckon a lot of health tech startups are having a rather unpleasant morning. Essentially, it's a dedicated space inside ChatGPT where you can dump all your health data—Apple Health, blood tests, your genome, the lot—and use it as a proper health assistant. The clever bit isn't just the product itself, it's the lock-in strategy. With 900 million users and about 30-40% already using it for health queries, this creates a proper moat. Once you've uploaded years of medical data, switching to another AI becomes an absolute faff. Plus, they've somehow got this past their lawyers, which is impressive given how dicey health data can be if anything goes sideways.

Meanwhile, Utah's become the first state to let AI renew prescriptions without a doctor involved, and the numbers are genuinely mad. The AI matches human doctors 99.2% of the time, but here's the kicker—when there's a discrepancy, the AI is actually making the better decision 36% of the time versus doctors being better only 9% of the time. That's sort of game over for pharmacists doing repeat prescriptions. I also spent some time showing off Claude Code projects, including this slightly bonkers genome visualization I built after some soju. The point being, the barriers to starting a business are essentially zero now—it's all about distribution and actually having the bottle to just build the thing.
