What ERRIC is — and why it’s different
Many people use AI to ask health questions. That’s useful — but not all tools are built for the same job.
Core difference: chat-based health AI focuses on answers in the moment. ERRIC is designed for long-term continuity — — and when you use Ask ERRIC, the reply can be added to your account for future use.
No. They solve different problems.
Chat-based health AI tools (including HealthGPT inside ChatGPT) are designed to answer questions quickly. ERRIC is designed to build and use a structured health history over time — so guidance becomes more relevant as your journey continues.
No — that’s one of the biggest advantages of HealthGPT.
When you use Ask ERRIC, the reply can be added to your account for future use. Your account becomes a personal library of your questions and ERRIC’s answers, so you can revisit and build on them without starting from zero.
Most health issues are not one event — they evolve, repeat, improve, relapse, and change over time. Without historical context, advice often becomes generic and repetitive.
Health cannot be understood properly without historical context.

This is not a “better/worse” claim — it’s a design difference.
Because health answers without context are often misleading. Follow-up questions help ERRIC build an accurate baseline, personalize guidance, and avoid repeating advice that didn’t help you.
ERRIC doesn’t aim to sound clever — it aims to be correct for you.
No. ERRIC provides wellness education and structured guidance. It is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis, emergency care, or licensed treatment.
ERRIC can help you understand your journey and prepare better questions for professionals.
