OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT Health , a dedicated section of ChatGPT where users can ask health-related questions (completely separate from the main ChatGPT experience). For more personalized answers, users can connect various health data services , including Apple Health, Function, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, Instacart, and Peloton.
Last month, MacRumors discovered icons related to Apple Health inside the ChatGPT app. Yesterday's announcement makes the integration official. Once connected, ChatGPT will be able to access data and fitness (including movement, sleep, and activity patterns).

ChatGPT Health can also integrate with your medical records, which allows it to analyze your lab test results and other aspects of your medical history to inform its answers to your health-related questions.
OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT Health is not intended to provide diagnosis or treatment and is not a substitute for professional advice. It can simply be used to better understand results or prepare for upcoming appointments.
