OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, a secure platform linking users' health information with ChatGPT's intelligence. The platform supports, rather than replaces, medical care, helping users understand test results, prepare for appointments, and manage their wellness.

ChatGPT Health allows users to safely connect medical records and apps such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. All data is stored in a separate Health space with encryption and enhanced privacy to keep sensitive information secure.

Conversations in Health are not used to train OpenAI's models.

The platform was developed with input from more than 260 physicians worldwide, ensuring guidance is accurate, clinically relevant, and prioritises safety.

HealthBench, a physician-informed evaluation framework, helps measure quality, clarity, and appropriate escalation in responses, supporting users in making informed decisions about their health.

ChatGPT Health is initially available outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK, with wider access coming in the coming weeks. Users can sign up for a waitlist and begin connecting records and wellness apps to receive personalised, context-aware health insights.
