I was so excited to hear about OpenAI’s new thing in ChatGPT – it’s called ChatGPT Health! Basically, it’s designed to help with your health and wellness, and the coolest part is you can connect it directly to your medical records and apps like Apple Health. It feels like a really personalized way to get health info and support.
The AI company clarified that this tool isn’t meant to replace a doctor’s care or provide diagnoses and treatments. Instead, it’s designed to improve your overall health by answering your health-related questions. Importantly, the information you receive will be tailored to your own personal health data.
OpenAI has discovered that most people use its chatbot for health-related information. Specifically, around 230 million people globally ask ChatGPT questions about health and wellness each week.
To ensure your privacy and security while using ChatGPT Health, your files, conversations, and connected apps will be kept completely separate from your other ChatGPT chats. Your data will remain within this dedicated space and won’t be used to improve OpenAI’s AI models.
ChatGPT Health is the latest feature designed to make ChatGPT an even more helpful personal assistant, offering information and tools to help you with all aspects of your life and reach your goals.

ChatGPT Health can help you make sense of your medical test results and get ready for appointments. It can also support a healthier lifestyle by offering guidance on nutrition and suggesting exercise plans.
Currently, a small group of ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users outside of Europe, Switzerland, and the UK are testing a new feature. OpenAI intends to make this feature, called ChatGPT Health, available to all web and iOS users in the coming weeks.
Last year, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, talked about how generative AI is starting to affect jobs, pointing out that customer service roles are already being impacted. Despite this, he emphasized that he would always choose a human doctor over relying on artificial intelligence for medical care.
I definitely prefer seeing a real doctor. Surprisingly, ChatGPT is often better at diagnosing illnesses than many doctors globally, and there are countless stories online of it helping people. Still, I’d rather not rely on AI for my health without a human doctor involved.
The company leader acknowledged that people often place a lot of trust in ChatGPT, despite its tendency to sometimes generate incorrect or nonsensical information – often referred to as ‘hallucinations.’ Sam Altman explained that it should be technology you approach with a degree of skepticism.
