ChatGPT Health: Apple Health & Medical Records Integration

OpenAI has launched a new "Health" feature within ChatGPT, allowing users to connect Apple Health and other medical records. This integration lets ChatGPT use personal health information during conversations. Users can control what information they connect and when ChatGPT can access it. More than 300 million people already use ChatGPT weekly for health questions, like understanding lab results or preparing for appointments. This new feature aims to consolidate health data, which is often spread across various portals and devices. With permission, ChatGPT can help users compare new test results with old ones, summarize changes since their last appointment, and review medications. It can also show how sleep, activity, and workouts relate to their routine. Early testing revealed that health questions often come up naturally in regular conversations, even outside a dedicated health interface. The updated experience allows ChatGPT to consider connected information like medications, lab results, recent visits, sleep, and activity data. This can be used alongside user-shared goals and context, such as dietary restrictions for food choices or recent injuries for activity suggestions. Users can also ask follow-up questions or correct outdated information. The Health section in ChatGPT lets users manage accounts, view data and trends, and access previous.
