Overview
- Users can connect wellness apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Peloton, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, Instacart, and Function, with U.S. medical records accessed via b.well through provider logins like MyChart.
- Health runs in a separate, encrypted space with its own memory, and conversations in Health are not used to train OpenAI’s foundation models, with controls to delete health memories and disconnect apps.
- Access begins with a waitlist for a small group of Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users, expands to web and iOS in the coming weeks, excludes the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK, and requires iOS for Apple Health syncing.
- OpenAI says the tool supports care rather than diagnosing or treating conditions, helping explain lab results, prepare for appointments, review insurance tradeoffs, and track patterns over time.
- The product was developed over two years with input from more than 260 physicians and evaluated using OpenAI’s HealthBench framework, even as privacy advocates warn that protections do not guarantee HIPAA coverage.
