Same kind of model. Different job.
ChatGPT and Claude will answer health questions today, often well. DoctorVault uses those same classes of model via your own key. We are not claiming a secret medical LLM.
The difference is what wraps the model: an encrypted vault you own, structured records, and a multi-specialist panel that can retrieve your history instead of whatever you pasted this afternoon.
Side by side
| ChatGPT / Claude chat | DoctorVault | |
|---|---|---|
| Where records live | Provider account, projects, or nothing | Encrypted in Drive or S3 you own |
| Can the app operator read them? | The AI vendor can | We cannot; your AI vendor still sees consult context |
| Structured labs / meds / files | Ad hoc uploads | First-class records, search, Health Brief |
| How answers are formed | One model, one thread | Specialists debate; a GP synthesizes |
| Cost shape | Plus / Pro / API | App is free; you pay your API usage. Pro is $8/mo for deeper retrieval |
When to stay in ChatGPT
If you want the fastest answer and you are asking a generic question (“what is HDL?”), a chatbot is fine. If you will not complete a passphrase and recovery kit, DoctorVault will feel like a ceremony, because it is one — on purpose.
If you want the file to outlive a chat thread, and you do not want us in custody of it, start with the labs essay and the demo vault.
Try it in the demo vault
No account. Nothing is saved when you close the tab. Add a couple of sample records, ask the panel one question, then read how to verify that our servers never see the contents.
