OpenAI Opens ChatGPT Health to All US Users, With Apple Health and MyFitnessPal Integration

On July 23, 2026, OpenAI opened access to ChatGPT Health to all users in the US. Any American ChatGPT user can now connect personal health data from third-party services to the chatbot and discuss their health directly in the interface.

What Is ChatGPT Health

ChatGPT Health is a ChatGPT mode from OpenAI focused on health and wellness questions. According to TechCrunch, the feature became available to all users in the US on July 23, 2026; access was previously limited.

The key idea behind the mode is not just to answer general medical questions but to work with a person's own data: activity, nutrition and biomarker readings pulled in from the apps they already use. That sets ChatGPT Health apart from a regular chat, where the model knows nothing about the specific user.

Which Services You Can Connect

Users can connect personal data from at least three third-party services to ChatGPT Health, and they choose which apps to integrate.

• Apple Health — activity, sleep, heart rate and other metrics from iPhone and Apple Watch
• Function — lab test and biomarker data
• MyFitnessPal — nutrition and calorie tracking
• Access is open to all ChatGPT users in the US
• Launch date for the general audience: July 23, 2026

According to

TechCrunch, users can integrate personal data from services such as Apple Health, Function and MyFitnessPal — giving ChatGPT context about a specific person instead of generic answers.

Why OpenAI Is Moving Into Health

Health is one of the most common topics people already ask ChatGPT about, and OpenAI is formalizing that use case as a dedicated product. By opening ChatGPT Health to the entire US market on July 23, 2026, the company moves medical queries from general answers to a personalized scenario tied to the user's real data.

Integration with Apple Health, Function and MyFitnessPal means the model sees concrete numbers rather than an abstract person: how much the user sleeps, what they eat and what their lab results are. That makes the answers more useful, but it also sharpens the question of privacy for medical data — the most sensitive category of personal information, which a chatbot now processes.

What This Changes for Users

Users in the US can now ask ChatGPT health questions that take their own data into account instead of getting answers in a vacuum. After connecting Apple Health, Function or MyFitnessPal, a person can ask how their sleep affects recovery, what their latest lab results show, or how to adjust their diet — and get an answer based on their actual readings. The feature became generally available in the US on July 23, 2026. ChatGPT remains an assistant, not a replacement for a doctor: data integration gives it more accurate context, but medical decisions still require a professional.

What This Means

OpenAI is establishing itself in consumer health: ChatGPT Health, with Apple Health, Function and MyFitnessPal connections, turns the chatbot from a medical reference into a personal health assistant for a mass audience in the US. The main question now is how the company will protect its users' most sensitive data.
