| Headlines for a healthier you | | | ChatGPT Is Everywhere, Even in Health Care |  | Hey there! I'm ChatGPT, your friendly AI assistant. I'm here to answer your concerns and questions about this popular chatbot that has taken the internet by storm. Just kidding. It's still a human—me—behind the screen, unfortunately. I kept trying to ask ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot, to write my newsletter introduction today and it's not quite smart enough yet.
But according to a preprint paper, ChatGPT is smart enough to pass the medical licensing exam with more than 50% accuracy—and at times even reaching 70%. On average, the passing threshold for real people taking the test is around 60% most years. | | Know More | | ChatGPT might be great at taking exams, but it can't give accurate diagnoses or assist in clinical decision making yet. Since the model pulls text data from the internet, it also absorbs misinformation, factual errors, and biases. So while ChatGPT is fun and innovative, it has a long way to go. | | Feel Better | | Some clinicians are finding ways to use ChatGPT already, despite its flaws. For example, it can help clinicians generate insurance appeal letters or explain test results in a more patient-friendly manner. In the future, it might be able to handle more tedious, administrative tasks like selecting the correct billing code and creating discharge summaries. | | |  | What Else Should You Know | | | How to Shop for Healthy Groceries at Dollar Stores | | Even though inflation is slowing, food prices are still expected to rise this year. More families are opting to buy groceries at dollar stores. Cheaper foods aren't necessarily less healthy, though. If your local dollar store doesn't have fresh produce, look for things like dried fruit, nuts, beans, tuna packets, and chickpeas. | | | | | | Take a Rapid COVID Test Before You Go to a Super Bowl Party | | Ideally, you should have taken a rapid test on Thursday in preparation for your Super Bowl watch party. But if you didn't, you should still take one before you head out today. If you're the host, it's still cool to ask your guests to test—it shows that you care about everyone's health. If you have COVID symptoms, skip your gathering and watch it at home. | | | | |  | In Other News | | | | |
