OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health With Limited U.S. Rollout

The new health-focused mode emphasizes data separation with clinician-guided design.

Overview

  • Access begins for a small U.S. cohort via a waitlist, with broader availability for web and iOS promised in the coming weeks.
  • Users can connect electronic medical records through b.well as well as consumer apps such as Apple Health and MyFitnessPal.
  • OpenAI says health chats are isolated in a separate, encrypted area that is not used to train its models.
  • The tool focuses on interpreting lab results, organizing medical notes, and helping users prepare for appointments without replacing clinicians.
  • OpenAI cites 230 million weekly health queries and input from over 260 physicians with 600,000 feedback items, while cautioning that inaccuracies remain possible.
