OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT Health, a new experience designed to securely combine personal health information with AI to help users better understand and manage their well-being.
The company says health and wellness is already one of the most common reasons people use ChatGPT, with more than 230 million health-related questions asked worldwide each week.
ChatGPT Health builds on this by letting users connect medical records and wellness apps so responses are based on personal data, not just general advice.
ChatGPT Health runs as its own section inside the app, with dedicated memories and stronger privacy protections. Health conversations stay separate from regular chats, and information shared there is not used elsewhere.
OpenAI stresses that the tool is meant to support — not replace — medical care. It doesn’t provide diagnoses or treatment. Instead, it helps users prepare for doctor visits, understand lab results, track health trends, and navigate everyday wellness questions.
Users can securely link services like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function, allowing ChatGPT Health to summarize test results, explain wearable data, suggest fitness or diet approaches, and help make sense of insurance options based on personal patterns.
Health conversations are not used to train OpenAI’s models, and users can delete memories or disconnect apps at any time. Extra security features, including multi-factor authentication, are also available.
OpenAI says ChatGPT Health was developed alongside physicians around the world. Over the past two years, more than 260 doctors across 60 countries contributed feedback, with over
600,000 evaluations shaping how the system handles safety, clarity, and medical context.
The feature is assessed using HealthBench, a framework created with practicing clinicians that focuses on real-world usefulness — such as clear explanations, knowing when to escalate care, and communicating safely — rather than test-style accuracy alone.
ChatGPT Health is rolling out in a limited launch to select users on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans outside the EU, Switzerland, and the UK. OpenAI says access will expand through 2026, with broader availability planned for web and iOS.
