OpenAI has officially launched its Health in ChatGPT feature to all eligible users in the United States, marking a major step into consumer health technology. The rollout, which began July 23, 2026, makes the feature available to anyone 18 or older on web and iOS across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans.

Health in ChatGPT allows users to securely connect their medical records from major healthcare systems — including Epic and Oracle Health — along with Apple Health data from their iPhone or Apple Watch. Once connected, the AI can analyze lab results, summarize changes since a prior appointment, track medications, and explore how sleep, activity, and workouts impact overall health.

"With your permission, ChatGPT can consider relevant information you have connected, such as medications, lab results, recent visits, sleep, and activity, alongside the goals and context you share," OpenAI states. The feature can recommend lower-impact activities after an injury or consider dietary restrictions when suggesting restaurants.

OpenAI has stressed that connected medical records and Apple Health information are not used to train its models or target ads. Conversations that use health data are also excluded from training. ChatGPT asks for explicit permission before using health information to personalize responses.

For users who prefer not to connect their records, the Health section still works as a general health information resource. The launch follows OpenAI's January 2026 announcement of ChatGPT Health, which had remained in a limited beta until now.

The expansion comes amid growing scrutiny of AI in healthcare. Privacy advocates have raised questions about data security, while supporters highlight the potential for AI-powered health insights to complement traditional medical care. OpenAI has partnered with b.well, a health data connectivity infrastructure company, to enable secure record integration.

With this launch, OpenAI positions itself alongside Apple and Google in the consumer health data space, offering an AI-native interface to personal medical information that could reshape how millions of Americans engage with their own health data.
