OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a specialized feature within ChatGPT designed for health and wellness inquiries that can be personalized with your own data. Users have the option to link their medical records and wellness apps, enabling ChatGPT to summarize recent lab results, assist in preparing for clinician visits, identify trends over time, create diet and workout plans, and evaluate insurance options based on individual patterns. OpenAI highlights that health is already a major use case, with over 230 million people worldwide asking health and wellness questions each week, as determined by de-identified conversation analysis.

Access to ChatGPT Health begins with a limited beta. Eligible users on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK can request access, with plans to extend availability to all users on web and iOS in the coming weeks. Currently, medical record connections and some apps are exclusive to the U.S., and syncing with Apple Health requires iOS. Supported connections include Apple Health, Function, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers (including GLP-1 meal guidance), Peloton, Instacart, and AllTrails.
ChatGPT Health operates as a separate compartment with its own memories, ensuring that Health data does not integrate with regular chats. OpenAI assures that conversations within Health are not used to train its foundational models, and the space incorporates purpose-built encryption and isolation in addition to default encryption during transit and at rest. For U.S. provider connectivity, OpenAI is collaborating with b.well, and users have the ability to revoke access at any time.
OpenAI developed this experience with insights from over 260 physicians across 60 countries, gathering more than 600,000 rounds of feedback and assessing behavior using its HealthBench framework. OpenAI board member Fidji Simo shared an instance of using uploaded records to identify a risky antibiotic interaction, portraying Health as a “second set of eyes” for fragmented charts. Meanwhile, Function is promoting its new ChatGPT connection as a means for members to access their health data within ChatGPT.
