OpenAI on Jan. 7, 2026, announced the launch of ChatGPT Health, a dedicated experience within ChatGPT designed to help people access and review health and wellness information, according to the company’s published release.

ChatGPT Health brings health conversations, connected data, and files into a separate space with added privacy protections. OpenAI said the feature is intended to support, not replace, medical care and is not designed for diagnosis or treatment. The company said health is already one of the most common uses of ChatGPT, with more than 230 million people globally asking health and wellness questions each week based on their de-identified analysis.
The experience allows users to optionally connect medical records and wellness apps (such as Apple Health) so responses can reference connected information when relevant. Medical Records access is available only in the United States, requires users to be over 18, and is enabled through a partnership with "b.well". Apple Health integration requires iOS, while Android support "is coming soon" (as per OpenAI help page).
OpenAI said Health operates as a separate space within ChatGPT, with health chats, memories, and files kept isolated from other conversations. Health chats, files, and memories are not used to train OpenAI’s foundation models. Users can disconnect apps, delete Health memories, and manage permissions at any time, with third-party apps turned off by default.
ChatGPT Health is available via a waitlist for users with ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, excluding the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
