OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health to Bring Personal Health Data Into AI Conversations

OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT Health, a new feature within its popular AI chatbot that lets users bring their medical information and wellness data into a dedicated health-focused space. The tool creates a separate environment inside ChatGPT where people can connect electronic health records and data from wellness apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function and others.

This enables the AI to provide responses that are grounded in an individual’s own lab results, fitness patterns or appointment history rather than generic wellness guidance. Health conversations are isolated from regular chats and protected with purpose-built encryption and privacy controls, and OpenAI says they are not used to train its core models.

OpenAI stressed that ChatGPT Health is designed to help users understand their health information, prepare for doctor visits and explore lifestyle and insurance options, but it is not meant to diagnose or replace medical professionals. Interest in such tools is high, with OpenAI noting hundreds of millions of weekly health and wellness queries from users. Initially a waitlist rollout is underway outside Europe and the UK, with broader availability planned soon.
