Launching Health in ChatGPT

Health in ChatGPT is launching to U.S. users. You can choose to securely connect Apple Health and supported medical records so ChatGPT can help you understand your information in context, keep track of what has changed, and have more informed, personalized conversations. The experience builds on feedback from early testers and gives you control over what you connect and when ChatGPT can use it.

Every week, more than 300 million people turn to ChatGPT with health-related questions—from understanding a lab result and preparing for an appointment to making sense of what a doctor said and building a healthier routine. But the context behind those questions is often scattered across patient portals, medical records, apps, and wearables, making it difficult to see and act on the complete picture.

With your permission, ChatGPT can now draw on relevant information you’ve connected in Health to help you compare a new result with prior tests, summarize changes since your last appointment, or explore how sleep, activity, and workouts relate to your routine. This can reduce the need to repeatedly gather, upload, or explain the same details, helping you feel more informed, ask better questions, and take a more active role in your health while supporting, not replacing, the care you receive from medical professionals.

Finally, physicians extensively tested Health in ChatGPT before release, helping us measure and improve real-world model performance and safety with connected health data. While these results represent meaningful progress and we are continuously improving our models, ChatGPT can still make mistakes and does not replace the care and judgment of qualified medical professionals. We encourage people to verify important information and discuss medical decisions with their healthcare provider.

We’re continuing to improve the models behind health conversations so ChatGPT can reason more carefully across complex details, explain health information clearly, ask for missing context, and recognize when professional care may be needed. GPT‑5.5 Instant brought frontier health intelligence to all free users. GPT‑5.6 Sol builds on that progress with even stronger performance on more complex questions.

Health is built with layered privacy and security safeguards. Connected medical records and Apple Health information, and conversations that use it, are not used to train our foundation models or target ads. We’re beginning to roll out Health to logged-in ChatGPT users 18 and older in the U.S. on web and iOS across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans today. Open Health from the sidebar in ChatGPT to get started. Health is not yet available in Codex.

Earlier this year, we introduced a dedicated health experience ⁠ to a limited group of users that required visiting a separate space in ChatGPT to get the full benefit. Early testing showed that health questions often arose naturally in the course of conversations. For example, while planning meals or looking for recipes, someone might want ChatGPT to take a food allergy or dietary restriction into account. Among people with access, more than 70% of health-related conversations took place outside the dedicated health experience. Moving to a separate space added an unnecessary step.
