OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health: Revolutionizing Personal Wellness

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Health, a dedicated space within the ChatGPT platform for health and wellness queries. This feature securely integrates medical records and wellness apps to deliver personalized insights, helping users understand test results, prepare for doctor visits, and manage routines. Launched on January 6, 2026, it emphasizes privacy with isolated storage and no model training on health data.

​Key Features

ChatGPT Health connects to apps like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, and medical records via b.well for U.S. users. Users can upload files, use voice mode, and get tailored advice on cholesterol trends, diet plans, or insurance options without diagnostic claims. Custom instructions allow personalization, and it suggests relevant apps during chats.

Privacy and Security

Health operates in a separate ChatGPT space with purpose-built encryption, compartmentalized memories, and explicit app permissions. Conversations stay isolated from general chats, and users control data via settings, including MFA and quick disconnections. Developed with 260+ physicians from 60 countries, it uses HealthBench for safety-focused evaluations.

Availability and Access

Eligible users (Free, Plus, Pro outside EEA/UK/Switzerland) can join the waitlist for early access, rolling out on web and iOS soon. U.S.-only for some integrations like medical records; iOS required for Apple Health. OpenAI plans expansions for more connections and insights.
