OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, a dedicated experience designed to bring personal health data together with ChatGPT’s AI capabilities. The service aims to help users feel more informed and confident navigating wellness, medical test results, and care decisions, while maintaining privacy and security.
Health-related queries are among the most common uses of ChatGPT, with over 230 million people globally asking wellness questions weekly. ChatGPT Health builds on this usage, allowing users to connect medical records and wellness apps—such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal—to provide AI responses that are relevant to their own health context.
Dedicated Health Experience
ChatGPT Health operates as a separate, secure space within ChatGPT. Conversations, connected apps, and files are isolated from other chats, and memories are compartmentalized. Users retain control, with the ability to view or delete Health memories, and Health information is never used to train OpenAI’s foundation models.
The platform provides features including:
- Lab and Visit Insights: Summarizes test results and clinical history.
- Personalized Guidance: Offers contextual advice for diet, workouts, and insurance options.
- Appointment Preparation: Generates relevant questions and explanations for discussions with clinicians.
- Connected Apps Integration: Pulls data from wellness and fitness apps, supporting actionable insights.
Health incorporates enhanced privacy, purpose-built encryption, and compartmentalization to protect sensitive data. Multi-factor authentication can be enabled for additional security. Medical record connections are restricted to trusted U.S. providers via b.well, adhering to strict security and privacy standards. Users can disconnect apps at any time to immediately revoke access.
Physician-Led Development
OpenAI collaborated with more than 260 physicians across 60 countries to ensure ChatGPT Health delivers safe and accurate guidance. Feedback from physicians shaped model outputs in over 30 focus areas, guiding responses for clarity, escalation of care, and safety. ChatGPT Health is evaluated using HealthBench, a physician-designed assessment framework, ensuring recommendations align with clinical standards.
Availability
ChatGPT Health is initially available to early users on ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, with broader rollout planned in the coming weeks for web and iOS. Users can connect health data through medical records or wellness apps and begin interacting with ChatGPT in Health to receive context-aware guidance.
The platform is designed to support, not replace, medical care, helping users navigate everyday health decisions, understand trends over time, and prepare for professional consultations. In related developments, OpenAI has reorganized internal teams to accelerate the development of advanced audio models ahead of a planned audio-first personal device, reflecting a broader shift in the industry toward voice-based AI interfaces.
