The big idea
AI can translate words like 'hemoglobin' or 'TSH' into normal English, but never paste your name or DOB along with the values.
Some examples
- Type values like 'TSH 4.5' and ask AI what range that's in.
- Ask AI: 'What 5 questions should I ask my doctor about these results?'
- Strip identifiers before pasting anything to a public AI.
Try it!
Make up 3 fake lab values. Ask AI to explain them in plain English and write follow-up questions.
