US EditionShelly Palmer: OpenAI Wants Your Medical Records
ChatGPT Health integrates with Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function to provide personalized insights from medical records, supporting users in understanding test results and navigating care.
- On January 7, 2026, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health, a new feature within ChatGPT to support health conversations by connecting medical records and wellness apps.
- Built with input from clinicians, OpenAI worked with more than 260 physicians over the last two years to refine health outputs, aiming to help patients seeking medical guidance navigate care rather than replace clinicians.
- A `Health` tab in ChatGPT's app and desktop lets users upload medical files or link Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function, enabling analysis of lab results and explanations of doctor messages.
- Privacy specialists note OpenAI is not a covered entity and HIPAA does not apply when users voluntarily upload records, while researchers warn chatbots can give false or harmful medical advice.
- Only U.S. users can currently join the waitlist, with early testers now accessing ChatGPT Health; OpenAI says patient paperwork will be encrypted and conversations won’t train the chatbot, while UK and the European Union privacy laws limit availability and FDA and other regulators vary in approach.
