Medical AI Competition Surges with the New Launches from Tech Giants

OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic have launched new healthcare AI tools, highlighting an intensifying race in medical AI. OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Health, which focuses on consumer wellness data; Google’s MedGemma 1.5 analyzes medical images for developers, and Anthropic’s Claude supports hospital administration. While test results are strong, none are approved for diagnosis, keeping AI’s role supportive rather than clinical.
