OpenAI Launches Health in ChatGPT for US Users, Connecting Apple Health and Medical Records

OpenAI is launching Health in ChatGPT for US users, enabling connections to Apple Health and supported medical records so ChatGPT can reference health information during conversations.

According to OpenAI, connected medical records, Apple Health data, and related conversations are not used for model training or advertising.

The feature is now available to logged-in US users aged 18 and older on web and iOS across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, accessible from the ChatGPT sidebar.

Health is not currently available in Codex. Users may still ask health questions without connecting any data.

OpenAI states this feature aims to reduce repetitive data entry and support, not replace, care from medical professionals.

OpenAI reports that over 300 million people use ChatGPT for health-related questions each week, often with relevant information spread across patient portals, records, apps, and wearables.

Earlier this year, OpenAI introduced a dedicated health experience to a limited group of users, requiring a separate space in ChatGPT.

OpenAI notes that over 70% of health-related conversations occurred outside this space, prompting the ability to reference health information across all conversations.

The Health section in the sidebar remains the place to connect and manage information, view trends, browse synced records, and revisit past health conversations.
