More and more Americans are turning to consumer AI platforms for medical information. Until now, those educational conversations with AI have taken place outside of the healthcare system. Without access to the user’s private and secure medical information, educational information provided by the AI tool may not be as meaningful to the user. Today, Harford HealthCare and K Health announced the launch of PatientGPT, the nation’s first AI system with the ability to securely access the user’s medical record. PatientGPT, accessible right within the Hartford HealthCare patient portal and app, is rolling out as a beta version for a limited number of patients to try.

Jeff Flaks is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hartford HealthCare, a $7.0-billion enterprise that cares for more than 27,000 people daily. Allon Block co-founded K Health after being inspired by his own frustration with the U.S. healthcare system to build a better solution. They speak with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

US President Donald Trump called on other nations to wrest control of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran maintained missile fire across the Persian Gulf, expressing his frustration that the monthlong war remains unresolved.

Countries that can’t get energy supplies due to the effective closure of the vital waterway should “go to the Strait and just TAKE IT,” Trump said in a social-media post on Tuesday.“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself” as the US “won’t be there to help you anymore,” he added, the latest sign he’s looking to exit a conflict that’s triggered a surge in oil and gas prices and stoked fears of a global economic crisis. “Go get your own oil!” he added.

Stocks climbed and oil prices fell on hopes that both US and Iran might be looking for a way out of the war. WTI Crude was trading around $101 a barrel, travel stocks climbed and the S&P Energy Index turned negative, giving up an earlier gain of as much as 1.4%.

Those moves came after Iran’s state news agency reported a phone call between European Union Council President Antonio Costa and President Masoud Pezeskhian, who said the Islamic Republic has “the necessary will to end this war,” but only with guarantees “to prevent the recurrence of aggression.” It wasn’t immediately clear if his comments represent a change in Tehran’s position.
Tehran kept up strikes on Israel and countries around the Persian Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, with one attack hitting a large Kuwaiti oil tanker off the coast of Dubai. That was one of the most significant assaults on shipping since the US and Israel began bombarding the Islamic Republic on Feb. 28.

Mandy Oser is the owner of Ardesia in Hell’s Kitchen, a neighborhood wine bar she opened in the Fall of 2009 as a place where both those with a deeper knowledge of wine as well as novices can find a selection that will satisfy. She discusses the wine industry, how many are male dominated but highlighting women wineries owned and made by woman. And the increase of wine sales this month.
