OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health in Limited Rollout

The new health space isolates sensitive data from other chats, excluding it from training.

Overview

  • Users can connect Apple Health and wellness apps such as MyFitnessPal and Function, with Apple Health syncing requiring an iPhone.
  • Electronic medical records integrate via partner b.well using patient portal logins rather than direct EHR connections.
  • Access begins through a waitlist for a small group, with some features U.S.-only and initial availability excluding the EEA, U.K., and Switzerland.
  • OpenAI built the product over two years with input from more than 260 physicians and created the HealthBench framework to evaluate safety, clarity, and care escalation.
  • Privacy advocates warn of risks even as OpenAI adds layered encryption and separate memories and says Health conversations will not train its foundation models.
