AI BriefingChatGPT Launches Health Feature
Key point
OpenAI has launched a Health feature that connects Apple Health and medical records to ChatGPT for users in the US.
Details
Health in ChatGPT has launched for logged-in users aged 18 and older in the US. It is available on both web and iOS across the Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, allowing users to securely connect Apple Health and records from supported medical institutions to ChatGPT.
Once connected, ChatGPT uses information such as current medications, test results, recent medical visits, and sleep/activity data within the context of conversations. For example, it can factor in dietary restrictions when recommending restaurants, or suggest weekend activities that account for a recent injury. This reduces the need to upload or explain the same information every time.
During initial testing, OpenAI found that more than 70% of health-related conversations occurred outside of the dedicated Health space, so this update was designed to automatically apply connected information in regular conversations as well.
On the model side, GPT-5.5 Instant is available on the Free plan, while GPT-5.6 Sol has enhanced performance for more complex health questions. Connected medical records and related conversations are not used for foundation model training or ad targeting.
