OpenAI launches "Health in ChatGPT" for U.S. users

OpenAI has started rolling out "Health in ChatGPT" to U.S. users, allowing them to securely connect their Apple Health data and supported medical records. This feature enables the AI to provide contextual health insights, track changes over time, and compare new test results with previous ones. This integration marks a significant step forward for consumer AI in healthcare, offering users personalized, data-driven health insights directly within a conversational interface. It highlights the growing trend of using AI to bridge the gap between complex medical records and patient understanding. Developed with feedback from early testers and physicians, the feature requires explicit user permission to access Health data across conversations. It leverages Apple Health's integration with medical records, which often use the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard for secure data exchange.
