Launching Health in ChatGPT

OpenAI has launched Health in ChatGPT, a feature that lets users securely connect their medical information to ChatGPT. Available to U.S. users aged 18 and older, it links data such as Apple Health and supported medical records for more personalized health conversations.

Details

• Background: Over 300 million people ask ChatGPT health questions every week, and the feature aims to bring together health information that’s scattered across multiple services
• Data sources: Apple Health, supported U.S. hospital electronic medical records, One Medical, Function Health, and wearables/fitness apps synced through Apple Health
• What it does: Compares new test results with prior ones, summarizes changes since your last appointment, explores relationships between sleep, activity, and daily routines, and lets you view past data trends and health-related conversation history in a dedicated Health sidebar
• Dedicated models: GPT-5.5 Instant (Free) and GPT-5.6 Sol (paid plans) received additional health-focused training and outperform prior models on the HealthBench Professional evaluation
• Privacy and security: Medical records and Apple Health data are excluded from model training and ad targeting. All communications are encrypted at rest and in transit, access permission defaults to asking each time, and data is deleted within 30 days of disconnecting a source
• Availability: Available to U.S. users 18 and older on web and iOS, across all plans — Free, Go, Plus, and Pro. Rollout has already begun
• User feedback: One early tester said, “The most useful part has been turning scattered medical history into something I can actually understand”

How to try it

U.S. users 18 and older can enable Health in the ChatGPT web or iOS app settings and connect Apple Health or a supported medical provider’s portal. The feature isn’t yet available outside the U.S., including Japan, so users elsewhere will need to wait for a wider rollout.
