OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health With Limited Rollout and New Privacy Safeguards

Responses are personalized by linking user‑approved medical records with wellness app data.

Overview

  • The service is live for a small group of early users with a public waitlist, with broader availability planned on the web and iOS in the coming weeks.
  • Users can connect electronic medical records and apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, Peloton and Weight Watchers to get context‑aware guidance on test results, appointment prep, lifestyle choices and insurance options.
  • OpenAI says health conversations are stored in a separate, encrypted space and the data is excluded from training its main models.
  • The tool is positioned to support care rather than diagnose or treat, and it was developed with input from more than 260 healthcare professionals across roughly 60 countries.
  • Availability is limited at launch, with some integrations restricted to the United States and Apple Health requiring iOS, and European reporting flags privacy and safety concerns and says the feature is not rolling out in the EU.
