OpenAI announced Thursday the launch of Health in ChatGPT, a feature that allows users to securely connect health information from Apple Health and supported medical records. The feature is rolling out to users in the United States and is designed to help people ask health-related questions with more personalized context.

According to OpenAI, more than 300 million people use ChatGPT every week for health-related queries, ranging from understanding lab reports to preparing for doctor appointments. The company says one of the biggest challenges is that health information is often scattered across patient portals, wearable devices, hospital records and fitness apps.

Health in ChatGPT allows users to connect Apple Health and supported medical records to their conversations. Once connected, ChatGPT can reference that information when answering questions, helping users understand changes in their health, review medications, or discuss information from recent medical visits. Users can also update their health profile by adding conditions, medications and family medical history directly within ChatGPT.

OpenAI says the experience is built around user control. ChatGPT asks for permission before using health information in conversations, and users can choose to allow access once, always grant permission, or disable it altogether through the Health settings. The company also notes that connected health information may not always be complete or current, encouraging users to verify important details against their original medical records.
