OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a specialized feature for health and wellness questions—already one of ChatGPT’s most popular uses with over 230 million weekly queries. This secure space lets you connect medical records and apps like Apple Health or MyFitnessPal so responses are personalized. It operates with extra encryption and privacy protections; conversations won’t train AI models. Designed with physicians, it aims to help you understand test results, prep for doctor visits, or compare insurance plans—but won’t diagnose or replace real doctors. Access starts with a waitlist, beginning with Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users. Why it matters: This shifts ChatGPT from a general chatbot into a more responsible health companion, but raises questions about how much trust we’ll place in AI for our most sensitive personal data.
