What Is ChatGPT Health?

ChatGPT Health is a new, dedicated health and wellness experience built inside the ChatGPT platform by OpenAI. It’s designed to help users make better sense of their health information and support them in managing everyday health and wellness concerns — without replacing professional medical care.

It’s a separate space in ChatGPT that lets you securely connect and use your own health data — including medical records and wellness apps such as apple health, MyFitnessPal, Function, and others — to get personalized, context‑aware insights.

How ChatGPT health Works

🔹 Dedicated health Tab
ChatGPT health lives in its own section of the app, keeping health‑related chats, files, memories, and data isolated from regular conversations. This helps protect sensitive health information and maintain privacy.

🔹 Connect Your Data
You can choose to upload your medical records (like lab results, doctor notes, clinical history) and connect wellness apps (such as step trackers, nutrition apps, wearable data, etc.). This helps ChatGPT understand your actual health context, not just general topics.

🔹 Layered Privacy and Control
Health data is stored with enhanced protections and encryption, kept separate from regular chats, and not used to train ChatGPT’s main models. You control what’s connected and can disconnect or delete anything anytime.

🔹 Designed with Clinicians
OpenAI built ChatGPT health based on feedback from more than 260 physicians across 60 countries, ensuring responses focus on safety, clarity, and helpfulness, not alarm.

What It Can Do — and What It Can’t

✔ Useful Everyday Support

ChatGPT health can help with tasks like:
• Explaining medical test results in easy language
• Summarizing your records before a doctor visit
• Interpreting trends from fitness or wearable data
• Generating tailored diet or exercise guidance
• Comparing insurance options based on your health patterns
These are aimed at making health information more meaningful and actionable for you.

❌ Not a Replacement for Doctors

ChatGPT health is not designed to diagnose illnesses or replace professional medical advice or treatment. It is a support tool to help you better prepare for appointments and understand your data.

Why It Matters

Before ChatGPT health, users could already ask general health questions, but responses were generic and not personalized. This new feature shifts the way people can manage health information by grounding answers in real data that’s relevant to them, bridging the gap between scattered health records and meaningful insights — all in one place.

With hundreds of millions of weekly health queries to ChatGPT already, ChatGPT health marks an important step toward AI‑assisted wellness and health engagement, helping people feel more informed and confident as they navigate their health journeys.
