ChatGPT Health. Personalized Wellness, Privately Designed for You

Q: What is ChatGPT Health?

ChatGPT Health is a dedicated tool designed for a more private health-oriented experience. It has stronger privacy features and can optionally use your data to provide personalized answers. It’s meant to enhance—not replace—professional medical care.

Q: How does it protect my data?

Your health information is kept in a separate section with its own memory system, which you can access, manage, or delete anytime. These health discussions are not used to train OpenAI’s main models.

Q: Can I connect apps or medical records?

Yes, if you choose to. You can link supported wellness apps and medical records for more personalized insights and choose to disconnect them whenever you want.

ChatGPT Health offers a dedicated and enhanced privacy space within ChatGPT for wellness inquiries. With optional connections to Canadian health apps and medical records, it provides guidance based on your context—helping you interpret results, prepare for appointments, and enhance your health routines. It complements, but doesn’t replace, professional healthcare. OpenAI

Why this matters now

Millions turn to ChatGPT for health-related questions each week. ChatGPT Health offers a focused, more private platform, allowing you to delve into wellness queries, understand outcomes, and prepare for appointments with more precise guidance—all in one place.

Note for UK/Europe: Early access is being gradually introduced and might initially be unavailable in the UK and some European regions. We’ll keep you updated as availability progresses. Reuters

What ChatGPT Health is (and isn’t)

ChatGPT Health offers a unique space within ChatGPT for discussing health and wellness. You can opt to connect your medical records and wellness apps (e.g., Apple Health, MyFitnessPal) to ensure responses are based on your data. It’s developed with input from healthcare professionals to support, not substitute, professional medical care. Health discussions are conducted in a secluded area with enhanced privacy settings, and OpenAI assures data isn’t used to train foundational models.

Key points / benefits

Personalized insights (opt-in): Securely connect your health apps/records for tailored feedback.
Enhanced privacy: Health sessions are in a separate space with specific memory controls and deletion options.
Clinician-guided design: Developed with insights from medical professionals.

How it works and why it helps

In the Health tab, you can separate sensitive conversations from general chats. Health-centric “memory” can be reviewed or deleted at your discretion, or even disabled entirely. This offers a more secure and calmer environment to interpret lab results, identify trends from wearable devices, draft questions for your doctor, or plan diet and fitness routines—without the need to switch between multiple apps.

Practical examples

Before your appointment: Generate a question checklist based on your connected data and symptoms (e.g., “Help me prepare for a doctor’s visit about recurring migraines”).
Understanding results: Insert your lab results ranges and request plain-language explanations with follow-up questions for your healthcare provider.
Lifestyle planning: Create an initial routine using data from your step count and sleep patterns from a connected app, then fine-tune it weekly.

Important: ChatGPT Health is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace professional medical advice. For urgent or serious concerns, consult a qualified healthcare provider or emergency services.

Try it in four steps

Open ChatGPT Health and initiate a health-exclusive conversation (look for the Health tab).
Set privacy & memory: Review your Health memory settings; adjust or delete as needed.
(Optional) Connect apps/records: Link Apple Health or other supported services for personalized responses. You can disconnect anytime.
Start with a goal: e.g., “Help me prepare for a 10-minute consultation about knee pain—summarize key points and questions.”
