ChatGPT Health opens to all US users — Apple Health and Epic records land in the chat
OpenAI switched on ChatGPT Health for every US logged-in user 18 and older. The feature reads Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, and medical records from Epic and Oracle Health, then folds that context into any normal ChatGPT question.
ChatGPT can now read your Apple Health data and Epic medical records — and use them to answer any question, not only inside a dedicated health hub.

What is it?
ChatGPT Health is OpenAI's opt-in feature that links a user's health data — from Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, and hospital medical records — to their ChatGPT account. It launched to every logged-in US user 18 and older on 23 July 2026 after a January pilot with mixed reviews.
How does it work?
Users grant permission, and Health securely imports labs, medications, activity, and sleep from Apple Health plus records from Epic and Oracle Health portals. ChatGPT stores this in a health section that any ordinary conversation can draw on — so asking about a meal or a medication interaction can pull the user's own numbers, not generic advice.
Why does it matter?
Health-related queries already hit ~300M per week on ChatGPT, up from ~230M in January. Bringing verified personal data into the chat cuts the paste-your-labs-into-a-prompt step and makes personalized answers possible without a separate app. It arrives amid lawsuits alleging inaccurate medical advice, so OpenAI stresses the tool is not for diagnosis or treatment.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does ChatGPT Health cost?
- ChatGPT Health is available at no extra charge across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans for US users. There is no separate Health subscription. OpenAI has not published a paid tier for the feature; the health context simply plugs into the plan the user already pays for.
- Which apps and providers can ChatGPT Health connect to?
- ChatGPT Health reads Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function for activity and biomarker data, and imports medical records from Epic and Oracle Health-based patient portals, plus One Medical and Function Health. Users pick what to link and can revoke access. Sources on Android are not yet supported.
- Can ChatGPT Health diagnose or treat conditions?
- ChatGPT Health is explicitly not intended for diagnosis or treatment. OpenAI positions the feature as helping users understand lab results, medication lists, and appointment notes, then encouraging them to verify anything material with a clinician. The disclaimer applies across every US plan.
- How does ChatGPT Health change everyday ChatGPT use?
- Previously health data lived in a separate hub inside ChatGPT. Now users can opt to have the health section feed any general question — so a food or sleep query can automatically pull in the user's own labs, prescriptions, or Apple Health activity, instead of asking the person to paste it in.
