OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Health, a Dedicated Mode for Safer Health Conversations

OpenAI cites 230 million weekly health questions, with a phased rollout focused on privacy safeguards.

Overview

  • ChatGPT Health creates a separate space inside ChatGPT for medical and wellness discussions, isolating them from ordinary chats.
  • Users who raise health topics in regular conversations will be prompted to switch into the Health mode for continued guidance.
  • Within Health mode, the system can selectively draw on prior context, such as earlier training plans, to keep advice consistent.
  • Planned integrations include Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal to incorporate personal and health app data.
  • OpenAI says Health-mode chats will not train its models, and it reiterates that outputs are predictive and for reference, not medical diagnosis or treatment.
