OpenAI Starts Waitlisted Rollout of ChatGPT Health With App and Medical Record Integrations

Early access centers on record and app connections under added protections as experts flag reliability concerns.

Overview

  • ChatGPT Health creates a dedicated space for health and wellness that can combine users’ medical records and wearable data to personalize guidance.
  • Supported integrations include Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Peloton, Instacart, Function, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, and EHR connections for labs, visit summaries, and clinical history.
  • OpenAI says health chats are encrypted with additional isolation, kept in a separate memory, and excluded from foundation model training.
  • The feature is positioned for planning and understanding patterns and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment.
  • OpenAI cites heavy demand for health queries, reporting roughly 230 million health-related questions to ChatGPT each week, while journalists highlight unresolved safety and regulatory questions.
