OpenAI has launched a new feature called Health in ChatGPT that allows the popular chatbot to connect directly to a user’s medical records and fitness data.
The feature began rolling out to users in the United States on 23 July 2026, across both the web and iPhone apps. It is available to people on the Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans, but limited to logged-in users aged 18 and above.
Once connected to Apple Health and supported medical-record providers, ChatGPT can pull in details such as blood-test results, sleep patterns and recent doctor visits. Users can then ask it to summarise what has changed since their last appointment, compare new lab results against older ones, or spot links between their sleep, workouts and overall health.
In plain terms, it turns ChatGPT into a kind of personal health assistant that can explain confusing medical information in everyday language — though it is meant to support, not replace, advice from a real doctor.
OpenAI has stressed that privacy is built in. It says connected medical records and Apple Health information, along with any conversations that use that data, are not used to train its AI models or to target advertising, and personalisation only happens with the user’s permission.
The company first announced the feature in January 2026, when it was still in a beta testing phase, before this wider public rollout. Users can find the new Health section in the ChatGPT sidebar.
