OpenAI запустила Health в ChatGPT: подключение медкарт и Apple Health в США

In July 2026, OpenAI launched Health in ChatGPT — a feature that allows eligible users in the US to securely connect medical records and Apple Health data, in order to get more personalized recommendations and better understand the state of their health.

What is Health in ChatGPT

Health in ChatGPT is a new mode within OpenAI's chatbot that links the conversation to the user's personal medical data. Instead of generic answers about symptoms and test results, ChatGPT relies on a specific person's actual medical history and health metrics.

The feature appeared in July 2026 and became one of OpenAI's first steps toward working with personal medical data directly inside ChatGPT, rather than through third-party apps.

Key facts from OpenAI's announcement:

• Developer — OpenAI, the product is built into ChatGPT
• Access — only eligible users in the US
• Medical records and the Apple Health app can be connected
• Data is connected securely
• Goal — personalized insights and a better understanding of one's own health

"Health in ChatGPT lets you securely connect medical records and Apple Health to get more personalized recommendations and better understand your health,"

OpenAI's announcement states.

Why access is currently US-only

At launch, Health in ChatGPT is available exclusively to eligible users in the US — this is stated directly in OpenAI's announcement. Personal medical data belongs to the most sensitive category of information, and its processing in the US is strictly regulated, which is why the company limited the first rollout to a single jurisdiction.

OpenAI emphasizes the word "securely": according to the company's phrasing, connecting medical data must be protected. Technical details — exactly how the records are stored and processed — are not disclosed in the short announcement.

The word "eligible" in the description means that even within the US, the feature won't open up to everyone at once: judging by OpenAI's phrasing, access is granted to selected users, not the entire ChatGPT audience.

Why OpenAI is moving into health

Health in ChatGPT is a step by OpenAI from being a universal assistant toward personal healthcare. Connecting medical records and Apple Health turns the chatbot from an adviser on general questions into a tool that responds based on personal data: test results, diagnoses, and wearable device metrics.

The integration specifically with Apple Health provides access to data from iPhone and Apple Watch — steps, heart rate, sleep, and other metrics that the Apple ecosystem already collects. For the user, this means a question like "what do my latest test results mean" can be asked with real history in mind, rather than abstractly.

OpenAI did not give an exact date for the feature's full rollout, did not specify whether Health will be included in paid tiers, and did not disclose the list of supported medical record providers — the announcement is limited to the fact of the launch for selected US users.

What this means

OpenAI is moving into the territory of personalized medicine: ChatGPT is ceasing to be an impersonal reference tool and is starting to work with a specific user's health history. For now this is a limited launch for the US, but the direction is set — AI assistants are moving toward working with the most sensitive personal data.
