OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health with Apple Health and MyFitnessPal integration

OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Health: Your Integrated Wellness Hub

OpenAI is revolutionizing personal health management with the introduction of ChatGPT Health. This specialized section within the popular ChatGPT platform allows users to securely connect and interact with data from a variety of health and wellness applications, including Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, Instacart, and Peloton. The aim is to empower individuals to proactively understand and manage their well-being.

Recognizing that over 230 million people globally already turn to ChatGPT for health-related queries, OpenAI has developed Health as a dedicated and secure environment for these discussions. This initiative was developed in close collaboration with medical professionals.

Safety and privacy are paramount in ChatGPT Health. OpenAI has implemented "purpose-built encryption and isolation" to ensure that health conversations remain protected and compartmentalized. Crucially, the company assures users that these health-specific chats will not be used for model training. For an added layer of security, multi-factor authentication is also available.

Further enhancing its capabilities, ChatGPT Health is partnering with b.well, a leading network for connected health data in the US. This collaboration enables users to connect their medical records, benefiting from b.well's commitment to the highest industry standards in data security and privacy.

The functionalities of ChatGPT Health are extensive. It can simplify complex medical information by explaining lab results in easy-to-understand terms, help users prepare pertinent questions for doctor's appointments, interpret data from wearable devices and wellness apps, and provide clear summaries of care instructions.

Accessing ChatGPT Health is straightforward: simply select it from the sidebar menu within your ChatGPT interface. Initially, ChatGPT Health is rolling out to a limited group of early users outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK. Medical record integrations are currently exclusive to users within the United States.
