Depends on the company and compliance behind the app. If it's HIPAA certified, I would trust it as much as a tele health app that stores images or videos sent to a doctor. If I trust the security of my medical records with the app, then I personally wouldn't mind if AI was involved in the pipeline.
For context, I'm currently working on a HIPAA compliant app that uses AI to collect medical background info, then connects the user with an actual human doctor. To get HIPAA certified, the app code, infrastructure, and LLMs all need to be certified, using enterprise accounts with signed BAAs (contracts) that isolate PII and medical data. This prevents the medical data from being used as training data for the LLM.
HIPAA is not a foolproof system, but it's a crucial piece in the trust puzzle. I wouldn't trust an AI medical app without HIPAA certification. The chance of data leaking out through the LLM or hacks is too high without HIPAA.
