The feature is rolling out sequentially to US users aged 18 and older on the web and iOS versions of ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro. With user permission, ChatGPT can reference test results, medications, sleep data, activity levels, and medical history to answer health-related questions. Users can compare past and current test results, summarize changes since a previous appointment, or organize questions before a medical visit. OpenAI stated that over 300 million people per week already ask health-related questions on ChatGPT, but the conventional version required users to manually input or upload health data each time. The new feature aims to reduce that friction by letting ChatGPT access connected health information in normal conversations, or by adding \"@Health\" to a message. Connection sources include Apple Health, medical records from US institutions, Amazon's One Medical, and Function Health. OpenAI said that Apple Health data, medical records, and conversations using health information will not be used to train its foundation models or for ad targeting. If a user removes the connection, synced data is deleted from OpenAI's systems within 30 days, though past conversations containing health information remain until the user deletes them. The company noted that ChatGPT is not a substitute for medical professionals and advised users to verify important information with healthcare providers.","whyItMatters":"By embedding health data access into the normal chat interface instead of a separate dedicated screen, OpenAI addresses the low adoption rate of its earlier preview-where over 70% of health conversations happened outside the dedicated area-and makes personalized health Q\u0026A a default capability for hundreds of millions of users.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe feature builds on a preview OpenAI first offered to some users in January 2026. That preview used a dedicated screen for health answers, separate from the normal chat interface. According to GIGAZINE, the dedicated screen saw low adoption: over 70% of health-related conversations by preview users took place on the regular chat screen. Switching to the dedicated area each time health information was needed became an extra hassle.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpenAI stated that connected medical records, Apple Health information, and conversation content will not be used for training its foundation models or for advertising targeting. When using health information in responses, the default setting requires user permission. Users can choose to allow it once or always, and settings can be changed later. If a user removes the connection, synced data is deleted from OpenAI\u0026#39;s systems within 30 days, but health information included in past conversations remains in history until the user deletes those conversations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInformation from wearable devices and diet management apps that share data with Apple Health can also be used, but app-specific metrics may not be carried over. OpenAI said it will continue to improve the accuracy and safety of health-related responses in collaboration with doctors, making complex information easy to understand while recognizing situations where consultation with a medical professional is necessary.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"OpenAI says over 70% of health conversations in its preview happened outside the dedicated health screen, so now Health in ChatGPT works in normal chats-no separate mode needed.","twitterPost":"ChatGPT can now pull your Apple Health data and medical records into conversations.
