ChatGPT Health is a dedicated experience within ChatGPT designed to securely integrate your health information with AI intelligence, helping you feel more informed and confident in managing your health. It builds on ChatGPT’s existing privacy and security features with additional protections like purpose-built encryption and isolation to safeguard health conversations. Users can securely connect medical records and wellness apps such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal, enabling ChatGPT to provide personalized responses grounded in their own health data. This service supports, but does not replace, professional medical care, focusing on everyday health questions and long-term wellness patterns rather than diagnosis or treatment.
Dedicated Health Experience
Health information is often fragmented across various platforms, making it difficult to get a complete picture. ChatGPT Health addresses this by consolidating data and providing relevant insights based on connected medical records and wellness apps. Over 230 million people globally ask health and wellness questions weekly on ChatGPT, highlighting the demand for such a tool. ChatGPT Health helps users understand test results, prepare for doctor appointments, manage diet and exercise, and evaluate insurance options based on their health patterns. It operates in a separate, secure space within ChatGPT with enhanced privacy measures, and health conversations are excluded from training the AI models.
Privacy and Security
Health data is stored separately from other ChatGPT chats, with distinct memories that keep health context contained. While ChatGPT may use context from non-health chats to improve relevance, health information never flows back to general chats. Users can view or delete health memories anytime. Foundational protections include encrypted conversations and files, temporary chats, and the ability to delete data within 30 days. ChatGPT Health adds extra layers of encryption and isolation for sensitive health data. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is recommended for stronger access control.
Secure Data Connections
Users can connect their health data via trusted partners like b.well, which complies with high industry standards for security and privacy. Access to medical records can be revoked anytime. Wellness apps connected to Health require explicit user permission and must meet OpenAI’s privacy and security standards, including minimal data collection and additional security reviews. Users are informed about data collection by third parties and can disconnect apps at any time.
Physician Collaboration and Model Evaluation
ChatGPT Health was developed with input from over 260 physicians across 60 countries and multiple specialties over two years. These experts have provided extensive feedback on model outputs to ensure responses are helpful, safe, and clear without oversimplification. The model is evaluated using HealthBench, a clinical assessment framework created with physician input that prioritizes safety, clarity, appropriate escalation of care, and respect for individual context. This approach ensures the model performs well in practical tasks like explaining lab results, preparing for appointments, interpreting wearable data, and summarizing care instructions. The service is designed to support healthcare providers, not replace them.
Availability
ChatGPT Health is initially available to a small group of early users with ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It will expand to all users on web and iOS in the coming weeks. Medical record integrations and some apps are currently available only in the U.S., with Apple Health requiring iOS.
