OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health to Link Medical Records and Wellness Apps

OpenAI presents the new mode as a supportive assistant for everyday health questions rather than a diagnostic service.

Overview

  • ChatGPT Health integrates personal data through a partnership with b.well, which aggregates records from millions of U.S. providers including labs, imaging, diagnoses, medications, care plans, and physician notes.
  • Users can connect popular wellness services, with reported support for Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function.
  • OpenAI says it developed the feature in close collaboration with medical professionals to improve usefulness and appropriateness.
  • The company cites heavy demand for health-related conversations, claiming more than 230 million people engage with GPT on health and wellness each week.
  • Commentary in coverage argues the tool could reshape primary care because large language models can synthesize extensive personal data in ways clinicians cannot match.
