Your Personal Health Super-Assistant
On January 7, 2026, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a specialized hub designed for deep analysis of personal medical metrics. By integrating with popular apps like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Peloton, the AI gains a comprehensive view of your health—from sleep quality and activity cycles to lab results and medical history. The project's goal is not to replace doctors but to help users decode complex tests and prepare specific questions for professional consultations.
Privacy and Data Security
Recognizing the sensitivity of medical data, OpenAI has established a secure, isolated environment for Health within the platform. All data and dialogues in this section are stored separately, and OpenAI officially guarantees that medical information will not be used to train future ChatGPT models. Users maintain full control, with the ability to revoke access to their records or permanently delete their "health" history via profile settings at any time.
Core Features of the AI Assistant:
- Lab Result Analysis: Interpretation of test results and explanation of complex medical terminology in plain language.
- Appointment Prep: Generating a structured list of symptoms and questions for your doctor based on recent health data.
- Habit Monitoring: Personalized activity and diet recommendations derived from wearable device data.
- Insurance Evaluation: Guidance in selecting optimal insurance plans based on your historical healthcare usage patterns.
The feature is currently rolling out gradually to users in the United States and requires mandatory two-factor authentication for data protection. Despite privacy concerns from skeptics, OpenAI frames this step as an evolution of AI into a fundamental tool for improving quality of life.
