Health in ChatGPT adds connected personal context for U.S. users

THE SHORT VERSION

Health in ChatGPT can use information that eligible users choose to connect, with additional privacy controls and permission prompts.

What changed

Eligible U.S. adults can connect supported medical records, Apple Health, and selected health services so responses can reflect their own information and trends.

Important limits

The experience is designed to support—not replace—medical care and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment. Availability is gradual, and connecting Apple Health requires an iPhone.

What users should review

  • Which account or record source is being connected.
  • When ChatGPT may use connected information.
  • How to disconnect a source and remove synced data.
  • Whether a question requires advice from a qualified clinician.

Our view

The notable change is permissioned, user-specific context. Its value will depend as much on clear controls and careful boundaries as on answer quality.
