OpenAI has officially rolled out “Health in ChatGPT,” a dedicated feature enabling U.S. users to connect their electronic health records, Apple Health data, and fitness apps directly to the AI platform. Integrated via partnerships with health data aggregators like b.well as well as major electronic record systems including Epic and Oracle Health, the tool allows ChatGPT to draw on lab reports, visit summaries, and wearable metrics to provide personalized, plain-language explanations and help patients prepare for medical appointments. OpenAI emphasized that the feature operates as an informational health companion rather than a diagnostic tool, incorporating strict privacy controls where connected health data remains isolated and exempt from model training. The nationwide launch comes as over 300 million users ask health-related questions on the platform weekly, though it coincides with growing scrutiny after a Florida pastor filed a high-profile lawsuit alleging that ungrounded medical advice from the chatbot delayed life-saving treatment for a severe pulmonary embolism.
