# Amazon Launches Health AI Assistant That Accesses Your Complete Medical History

> Amazon's new Health AI assistant for One Medical patients can access full medical records to answer questions, manage medications, and book appointments.

Amazon unveiled Health AI on January 21, a new AI assistant integrated into the One Medical mobile app that can access patients' complete medical records to answer health questions, manage medications, and schedule appointments.

The tool, powered by Amazon's Bedrock AI models, acts as an "agentic" assistant capable of performing healthcare tasks autonomously. It provides 24/7 personalized guidance by pulling from licensed medical data, clinically-verified information, and patients' own health histories to explain lab results and recommend care options.

Amazon emphasized safety guardrails: Health AI cannot diagnose conditions or replace doctor visits. Clinical protocols automatically escalate serious symptoms—such as recurring UTIs—to human providers. Patient conversations remain separate from official medical records and are protected by HIPAA-compliant security.

The launch intensifies competition in AI healthcare. OpenAI released ChatGPT Health earlier this month, followed by Anthropic's Claude for Healthcare. However, patient safety nonprofit ECRI flagged AI chatbot misuse as the top health technology hazard for 2026, citing instances of incorrect diagnoses and invented medical information.
