OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, letting users link medical records, wellness apps and wearables.
The company said in its announcement: “ChatGPT can help you understand recent test results, prepare for appointments with your doctor, get advice on how to approach your diet and workout routine, or understand the tradeoffs of different insurance options based on your healthcare patterns.”
Users can connect apps including Apple Health to share sleep and activity patterns, MyFitnessPal for nutrition advice, AllTrails for hiking ideas, Peloton for workout suggestions and Instacart to build shopping lists based on dietary recommendations.
OpenAI said it has been working on the product for more than two years with more than 260 physicians from 60 countries.
However, the service has not fully launched yet.
OpenAI is giving access to a small group of early users for final refinements, with a waitlist for others.
Medical record integration is only available in the US, while the rest of the service is available globally except for users in the European Union, Switzerland and the UK, which have strict digital privacy laws.
The company said the new offering uses purpose-built encryption and isolation.
It said the health section of ChatGPT has “separate memories” so information stays within that chat, though it can still draw on information from non-health chats. It added that conversations in the health section will not be used to train foundation models.
ChatGPT has previously been at the centre of privacy concerns after a design flaw made some user queries public and searchable by search engines.
The chatbot has also faced criticism over mental health incidents allegedly triggered in the absence of adequate safety controls.
OpenAI has been building its healthcare presence over recent months. In May 2025, it unveiled HealthBench, a benchmark used to evaluate AI systems, which was used to train ChatGPT Health.
Over the summer, it made high-profile hires including Nate Gross, co-founder of healthcare networking tool Doximity, and announced a partnership with Kenya-based primary care provider Penda Health.
Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s chief executive of applications who joined over the summer, called the launch “really personal” to her and identified healthcare as the AI use case she is most excited about.
Earlier this week, OpenAI published a report claiming more than 40m ChatGPT users ask for health advice every day, and outlined sample policy concepts including requesting access to global medical data and a clearer regulatory pathway for consumer-focused health AI.
The company said it is preparing to release a more comprehensive health AI policy blueprint in the coming months.
