OpenAI just launched a new feature called ChatGPT Health. This is a special part of ChatGPT where you can talk about your medical life. It is not just for chat. You can actually connect your fitness apps and medical records to it. This helps the AI give you advice that fits your real body and health history.
Many people already use ChatGPT for health advice. In fact, over 230 million people ask it health questions every week. OpenAI wanted to make this safer and more useful. They built this new space to keep your medical talk separate from your regular chats about work or school.
Can you link ChatGPT Health with other devices?
You can link several apps to ChatGPT Health. It works with Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and even Peloton. If you are in the US, you can even connect your actual doctor’s records through a service called b.well. This lets the AI see things like your lab results, sleep patterns, and what you eat.
OpenAI is very serious about privacy here. They use special encryption and keep these chats isolated. Most importantly, they do not use your health conversations to train their AI models. You also have the power to delete your health memories or disconnect your apps at any time.
This tool is great for a few specific things. It can help you understand confusing lab reports or get you ready for a doctor visit by suggesting questions to ask. It can also help you plan workouts or compare different health insurance plans based on your needs.
It is important to remember that this is not a doctor. ChatGPT Health cannot diagnose a disease or tell you how to treat an illness. It is meant to be a helper that makes you feel more prepared when you talk to a real medical professional.
How to use ChatGPT Health
Right now, you have to join a waitlist to use it. It is rolling out to people on Free and paid plans in many countries. However, if you live in the UK, Switzerland, or the EU, you cannot access it yet because of local data laws. For everyone else, it should be on the web and iOS apps very soon.
