OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health With Apple Health Integration

OpenAI has announced ChatGPT Health, a new dedicated health and wellness experience that integrates with Apple Health on iPhone, allowing users to securely connect medical records and activity data for more context-aware responses.



The feature introduces a separate Health space inside ChatGPT, designed to help users better understand and organize their health information by grounding conversations in connected data. For iPhone users, the most notable addition is Apple Health integration. Users can choose to sync data such as sleep patterns, step counts, and heart rate, giving ChatGPT insight into daily activity when answering questions. The experience also supports connections with platforms like MyFitnessPal and Function, or users can upload clinical notes and lab PDFs directly into the chat.


OpenAI says the goal is to help people make sense of health information that is often scattered across apps, portals, and documents. In its announcement, the company showed examples of the tool summarizing complex lab results into plain English, drafting questions to ask a doctor based on recent symptoms, and comparing insurance plans based on an individual's healthcare patterns. ChatGPT Health can also suggest workout routines and diet ideas that adjust based on activity data pulled from sources such as Apple Watch.

Because health data is especially sensitive, OpenAI has built ChatGPT Health as a separate, protected environment. The Health experience operates in its own space with dedicated memory and additional layers of encryption. The company says conversations and data shared in Health are isolated and are not used to train its foundation models. If a user starts discussing medical topics in a standard chat, ChatGPT is designed to suggest moving the conversation into the Health interface for these added protections.

OpenAI says the feature was developed in collaboration with more than 260 physicians and evaluated using a new safety framework designed to prioritize clarity, accuracy, and appropriate escalation of care. The company emphasizes that ChatGPT Health is meant to support decision-making and preparation, not replace professional medical diagnosis or treatment.

The launch continues OpenAI's expansion across Apple platforms, following the recent release of the native ChatGPT Atlas browser for Mac and the integration of Apple Music into the chat interface.


ChatGPT Health is rolling out via a waitlist (which is currently down), with initial access limited to a small group of users in the United States. Medical record integrations and some connected apps are U.S.-only at launch, and syncing Apple Health data requires an iPhone. OpenAI says broader availability is planned in the coming weeks.
