OpenAI Health in ChatGPT: Connects Medical Records & Apps

OpenAI has made its Health in ChatGPT feature widely available to users in the U.S. This allows the AI chatbot to connect with medical records and wellness apps. Here's the thing: The goal is to transform ChatGPT from a general health Q&A tool into a personalized health companion. It will now draw on users' medical and wearable data for deeper context. More than 300 million people use ChatGPT weekly for health questions, a number that grew from 230 million in January. What's interesting is that this feature helps users understand their health information, which is often scattered across patient portals, medical records, apps, and wearables. Users can connect Apple Health data and supported medical records, including those from hospital systems linked to Epic and Oracle Health, as well as One Medical and Function Health. OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT is not for diagnosis or treatment and does not replace medical professionals. The bottom line is that this tool aims to help users navigate their health data and prepare for doctor appointments.
