ChatGPT Health Rolls Out to US Amid Lawsuit

OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health to all US users aged 18 and over, across all pricing plans. This new feature allows users to import medical records and third-party fitness data for personalized insights. What's interesting is this comes amid a lawsuit from a Florida pastor. OpenAI states that health-related requests previously totaled about 230 million per week, and that number has now surpassed 300 million. Users can import medical records from hospital systems like Epic and Oracle Health, as well as platforms such as Apple Health and MyFitnessPal. OpenAI says its models have improved in answering health questions, with its smallest model, GPT 5.6-Luna, outperforming GPT 5.5 in medical query benchmarks. The company also notes it does not use user data to train its models, working instead with physicians to enhance responses. The bottom line is that while OpenAI aims for safety and accuracy, users should verify medical recommendations with a professional healthcare provider.
