A look at OpenAI’s healthcare moves

From meeting with the president and CEO of Renton, Wash.-based Providence to growing its healthcare team, here are four of OpenAI’s healthcare moves as reported by Becker’s since February:

• In August, OpenAI added two new members to its healthcare team. The AI company appointed Ashley Alexander as its new vice president of health products and Nate Gross, MD, to lead its healthcare strategy.
• On Aug. 7, OpenAI released GPT-5, its latest AI model, with improvements in handling health-related questions, according to the company. The model outperforms earlier versions on HealthBench, a benchmark based on real-world medical scenarios and physician-defined standards. GPT-5 is designed to act as a thought partner, helping people better understand their health, ask informed questions, and prepare for discussions with healthcare providers.
• In May, OpenAI introduced HealthBench, a new evaluation framework to assess how AI systems perform in healthcare settings. The tool evaluates AI performance in realistic healthcare scenarios based on priorities identified by physicians.
• In February, Erik Wexler, president and CEO of Providence, met with OpenAI to explore the future of AI in healthcare.
