ChatGPT Health arrives to integrate your health data | Keryc
ChatGPT introduces Health, a space inside the app designed to bring your health information together with ChatGPT's intelligence so it can help you feel more informed and prepared. Can you imagine having an assistant that summarizes your tests or helps you prepare questions before a medical appointment without exposing those data to the rest of the system? That's exactly what Health aims to do.
What is ChatGPT Health
Health is a dedicated experience inside ChatGPT for health conversations, with extra privacy and security controls. It's not a replacement for your doctor: it's meant to help you understand results, spot patterns in your data, and prepare those important conversations with your care team.
The idea is practical: many people already turn to ChatGPT for wellness questions. According to OpenAI, more than 230 million people ask about health and wellness every week. Health organizes that, allowing answers to be grounded in your records and connected apps.
What you can connect and ask Health
You can integrate medical records and wellness apps so responses are more relevant to your situation. Concrete examples:
Summarize a lab test before an appointment.
Check how your cholesterol is doing and whether it's trending up or down.
Suggest meal ideas based on your macros from MyFitnessPal.
Offer class or meditation options based on your activity in Peloton.
Apps and connections mentioned: Apple Health (requires iOS), Function, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, Instacart, Peloton, and clinical record connections via b.well (in the United States).
Privacy and security
Health operates as a separate space within ChatGPT. Your Health conversations, files, and memories are stored and shown separately from your other chats. In practice, that means your health context doesn't flow into regular chats and vice versa.
Conversations in Health are not used to train the base models. On top of that, extra layers of protection apply: specific encryption, isolation, and access controls. You can delete Health memories or revoke app access at any time.
Practical tip: enable two-factor authentication to strengthen access to your account. This adds an extra barrier against unauthorized access.
What Health doesn't do
Health is not designed to diagnose or replace clinical care. If a response suggests urgency, it should prompt you to contact a professional. The tool prioritizes clarity and safety, and aims to support everyday decisions and preparation for real appointments.
How it was built and validated
OpenAI worked with more than 260 clinicians from 60 countries over two years. Those clinicians evaluated system outputs more than 600,000 times and helped design how the model prioritizes safety, clarity, and when to recommend seeking a professional.
They also created HealthBench, an evaluation framework with rubrics written by clinicians to assess clinical quality in real-world context, not just exam-style questions. The goal was for the system to be useful in practical tasks: explaining a lab result, interpreting wearable data, or preparing questions before a medical visit.
Availability and initial limits
At launch, Health opens access to a small group of early users. Eligible users include those on ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. medical record integrations and some apps are available only in the United States; syncing with Apple Health requires iOS.
OpenAI plans to expand access in the coming weeks for web and iOS. All apps connecting to Health must meet privacy and security requirements and request your explicit permission.
How to get started with Health
Select Health in the ChatGPT sidebar.
Connect apps or upload files from Tools or from the Apps section in Settings.
You can add custom instructions within Health to guide tone and topics, without affecting your other chats.
For example, you might ask: "Summarize my last blood test (CBC) and tell me three questions I should ask at the appointment" or "Use my MyFitnessPal data to suggest recipes that match my macros."
Final thoughts
ChatGPT Health isn't just a new feature; it's an attempt to bring order to a real problem: fragmented health information. If used carefully, it can help you be better prepared and get more out of each medical visit. Does it give you more confidence that your data are isolated and not used to train the model? That's the core proposition: personal utility with extra layers of protection.
