OpenAI ChatGPT Health: Integrating Medical Records with AI
OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health, allowing users to connect medical records and wellness data securely. Partnering with b.well, it focuses on personalized health insights without using data for model training.
OpenAI just turned ChatGPT into your personal health assistant. On January 7, 2026, the company announced ChatGPT Health, a new experience that lets users securely connect their medical records and wellness apps directly to the chatbot. According to CNBC, this move aims to make AI responses more relevant by grounding them in a user's actual health data.
ChatGPT Health Features and Data Privacy
Privacy is at the forefront of this rollout. OpenAI emphasized that ChatGPT Health operates in a dedicated, isolated space. Conversations and files stored here won't flow to other chats and, crucially, won't be used to train OpenAI's foundation models. Through a partnership with b.well, users can integrate data from Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Weight Watchers.
The Vision of a Personal Super-Assistant
This launch marks a deepening push into the healthcare sector following the release of GPT-5 last year. CEO Sam Altman previously noted that healthcare might be the area seeing the strongest AI improvements. With hundreds of millions of people already asking health questions weekly, OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as a lifestyle companion. The service will initially be available to a small group before a wider rollout in the coming weeks.
