Users enable the connector in Anthropic's Claude settings with their athenahealth credentials, choose which information to share, such as lab results, vitals, medications and immunizations, and can withdraw access anytime. Claude can then personalize its answers. In a survey of 1,500 adults, 61% said they use AI-powered search engines to learn more about their health.
