The author tested OpenAI's ChatGPT Health and Anthropic's Claude by uploading a decade of Apple Health data (and later medical records) to obtain a simple cardiac-health grade. Outputs swung widely—ChatGPT gave an F, then a D after adding records; Claude varied between C and B—driven by noisy VO2 max estimates and changing resting heart-rate data.
