Event Summary

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health, a new feature designed to offer personalized health and wellness guidance by allowing users to securely connect their medical records and wellness apps like Health (Apple) and Under Armour — MyFitnessPal. Developed in collaboration with over 260 physicians, the feature aims to help users understand lab results, prepare for doctor appointments, manage diet and exercise, and clarify insurance options. OpenAI emphasizes that ChatGPT Health is not for diagnosis or treatment but to support users in managing their health. Privacy and security measures include a dedicated, encrypted space for health conversations, with data not used to train OpenAI's main AI models. The initial rollout is to a limited group of users outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, with some medical record integrations currently limited to the United States. Fidji Simo, CEO of applications at OpenAI, highlighted the growing demand for AI in healthcare, citing that over 230 million users ask health-related questions on ChatGPT weekly. OpenAI partnered with B.well Connected Health for health data connectivity infrastructure.
