ChatGPT users in the U.S. can now connect their personal health data directly to the assistant.
The feature hooks into Apple Health, clinical lab results, and medical summaries, giving the bot context to answer your specific health and wellness questions.
The feature, called Health in ChatGPT, is available starting today across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans on both iOS and the web, with no subscription upgrade required to access it. Users must be at least 18 years old and logged into a U.S. account.
What It Actually Does Day to Day
Once a user connects their Apple Health data or medical records, ChatGPT can factor that information into ordinary conversations.
Planning a weekend hike after a recent knee injury? ChatGPT can suggest lower-impact alternatives based on what it knows about your recovery.
Looking for a restaurant? It can filter recommendations around any dietary restrictions already logged in your health profile.
The system can also compare lab results across multiple visits, flag changes in sleep patterns or activity trends over time, and help users track whether their medication schedule has shifted.
The Health section lives in the ChatGPT sidebar and works independently from the main chat interface.
Your Data and How OpenAI Uses It
OpenAI states that health data connected to ChatGPT will not be used to train its AI models, and conversations involving that data will not be used for ad targeting.
Before ChatGPT pulls health information into any response, it asks for explicit permission each time. Users can also correct or update information they consider incomplete or outdated.
For anyone uncomfortable connecting medical records, the Health section still functions as a general health question-and-answer tool without requiring any personal data to be linked. Connecting Apple Health or outside medical records is optional throughout.
From Beta to Broad Availability
OpenAI first described plans for this feature in January, but access remained limited to a small beta group for months. Today’s rollout extends it to the full U.S. user base across all plan tiers.
The company described the goal as helping people track their health over time and understand how different factors, including sleep, exercise, and medications, relate to one another, rather than replacing a doctor’s analysis.
Users can add context manually, ask follow-up questions about specific results, or correct anything ChatGPT pulls from connected records.
The integration works with Apple Health data stored on iPhone as well as medical records from connected providers.
