PatientGPT guidance within the patient portal
Hartford HealthCare reported approximately 40,000 activated users for PatientGPT
Problem
Patients were seeking health guidance from public AI tools without access to their medical histories. Hartford HealthCare wanted those conversations connected to its clinical services.
Approach
Hartford worked with K Health to embed PatientGPT in its patient portal and mobile app. The assistant referenced medical histories to explain health information. It connected patients to scheduling and virtual care when clinical intervention was needed, without autonomously diagnosing or prescribing.
Results
Takeaway
Activation and repeat use provided early adoption signals. They did not establish improved clinical outcomes.
