OpenAI released the "ChatGPT Health" exclusive experience, which combines users' health information with conversational capabilities for health and wellness scenarios, and is used to explain laboratory and physical examination results, organize medical treatment points, and generate diet and exercise suggestions. Officials emphasize that the experience is designed to support, not replace, clinical care, and will not be used for diagnosis or treatment, and will open access in batches through a waitlist mechanism.
"Health" runs in a separate space, with health conversations, connected apps, and files stored separately from other chats, and is protected by stronger encryption and isolation. Conversations within the Health space are not used to train the foundation model. Users can view, manage, or delete Health memories in settings, and can enable multi-factor authentication; Connecting to electronic health records or third-party health apps requires explicit authorization and can be revoked at any time.
In terms of functional coverage, electronic health record (EHR) integration and some applications are currently only available in the United States; Connecting to Apple Health requires iOS. OpenAI said it will launch on a small scale to optimize the experience, and plans to gradually expand it to more users on the web and iOS in the coming weeks.
