OpenAI has publicly rolled out Health in ChatGPT to all US users 18 and older, enabling connections to Apple Health and select medical records to tailor health-focused conversations across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, with more than 300 million weekly health questions asked on the platform. The expansion is occurring amid ongoing privacy and consent considerations, with OpenAI reiterating that connected health data will not be used to train models or target ads, and that user permission is required before data can influence responses. The rollout follows scrutiny in the legal and privacy space, including a Florida lawsuit alleging harmful medical advice, shaping the surrounding environment for consumer AI and health data. OpenAI notes improvements such as broader access beyond the Health section and the ability to authorize ongoing data sharing with explicit permissions. Health data can be connected from Apple Health and select U.S. hospital systems, One Medical, and Function Health, enabling features like lab result comparisons, summaries since visits, and tracking sleep and activity to inform responses. Critics warn that linking health records to consumer AI products carries privacy risks, emphasizing safeguards and data handling policies.
