ChatGPT Health
OpenAI has officially launched a dedicated health experience, designed to integrate users’ health data with ChatGPT’s AI. The platform allows users to connect medical records and wellness apps to get more relevant insights. OpenAI emphasizes that Health is meant to support, not replace, professional care.
Health has been one of the most common use cases for ChatGPT. Hundreds of millions of people ask questions about wellness every week. The new launch builds on this demand by offering a separate space with enhanced privacy and security protections. It notes that these conversations are encrypted, isolated, and not used to train OpenAI’s models.
Users can connect apps such as Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function, as well as certain U.S. medical records, through the secure b.well network. This integration helps ChatGPT provide context-aware guidance, such as preparing for doctor visits, interpreting test results, or optimizing wellness routines. Furthermore, users remain in full control and can disconnect apps at any time.
Health
OpenAI collaborated with over 260 physicians across 60 countries to refine Health. Feedback shaped how the AI communicates, prioritizes safety, and escalates recommendations. The platform is also evaluated against clinical standards using HealthBench, a physician-informed assessment framework.
This launch signals OpenAI’s growing role in healthcare innovation. For the MENA region, where digital health adoption is increasing, platforms like Health could influence patient engagement, streamline care information, and support wellness decisions. By combining AI intelligence with secure health data, OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as a central tool in personal health management.
OpenAI will roll out Health gradually, starting with early access for select users, before expanding availability on web and iOS globally.
