OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health With Optional Medical-Record and Wellness-App Connections

OpenAI begins a waitlisted rollout that keeps connected health data in a separate encrypted space not used to train its models.

Overview

  • Access starts with a small group of users on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, with broader web and iOS availability expected in the coming weeks and exclusions for the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland.
  • U.S.-only medical-record linking is provided through b.well, while supported app connections include Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, Peloton, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, and Instacart.
  • The Health space is designed to explain lab results, prepare for appointments, offer diet and exercise guidance, and help compare insurance options, yet it is not for diagnosis or treatment.
  • Health conversations, files, and app data live in an isolated area with purpose-built encryption, separate memories, optional multi-factor authentication, and the ability to disconnect apps or delete data.
  • OpenAI says more than 260 physicians helped develop and evaluate the system using HealthBench, as privacy advocates flag risks in consumer health AI and U.S. regulators signal lighter oversight for wellness software.
