OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Health as a Dedicated Wellness Experience

OpenAI has officially launched ChatGPT Health, a dedicated experience inside ChatGPT designed to help users better understand and manage their health and wellness. The company says the feature brings personal health information and ChatGPT’s intelligence together, while keeping privacy and security front and center.

Health is already one of the most common reasons people use ChatGPT. According to OpenAI, more than 230 million users worldwide ask health and wellness questions every week. ChatGPT Health builds on that behavior by offering a separate, protected space where users can securely connect medical records and wellness apps to get more relevant, personalized responses.

The idea here isn’t to replace doctors. OpenAI is clear that ChatGPT Health is meant to support medical care, not diagnose or treat conditions. It helps users understand lab results, prepare for doctor visits, spot long-term patterns, and feel more confident navigating everyday health questions.

Privacy plays a major role. Health lives in its own isolated space within ChatGPT, with additional encryption and protections designed specifically for sensitive health data. Conversations inside Health are not used to train OpenAI’s models, and users remain fully in control of what data is connected, stored, or deleted.

Users can link services like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, and medical records through trusted partners. OpenAI says all connected apps must meet strict privacy and security requirements.

ChatGPT Health was built with input from over 260 physicians across 60 countries, shaping how the system communicates, prioritizes safety, and encourages follow-ups with clinicians when needed.

The feature is rolling out gradually, with a waitlist now open. Access will expand over the coming weeks on web and iOS, starting outside select regions.
