OpenAI открыла ChatGPT Health для всех в США: подключение Apple Health и MyFitnessPal

OpenAI 23 июля 2026 года открыла ChatGPT Health для всех пользователей в США. Теперь к чат-боту можно подключить личные данные из Apple Health, Function и MyFitnessPal — показатели активности, питания и анализов — и обсуждать здоровье с учётом собственных цифр, а не абстрактно. Раньше функция была доступна ограниченно.

On July 23, 2026, OpenAI opened access to the ChatGPT Health feature for all users in the US. Now any American ChatGPT user can 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 an OpenAI ChatGPT mode focused on health and wellness questions. According to TechCrunch, on July 23, 2026, the feature became available to all users in the US, whereas access was previously limited.

The core idea of the mode is not just to answer general medical questions, but to work with a person's personal data: activity, nutrition, and biomarker readings pulled from familiar apps. This is what distinguishes ChatGPT Health from a regular chat, where the model knows nothing about the specific user.

Which services can be connected

ChatGPT Health can connect personal data from at least three third-party services, and the user decides 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 broad audience — July 23, 2026
According to

TechCrunch, users can integrate personal data from services like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal — this way ChatGPT gets context about the specific person instead of answering abstractly.

Why OpenAI is moving into health

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

Integration with Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal means the model sees not an abstract person, but concrete numbers: how much the user sleeps, what they eat, and what their test results show. This simultaneously increases the usefulness of the answers and sharpens the question of medical data privacy — the most sensitive category of personal information, now processed by a chatbot.

What this changes for users

Users in the US can now ask ChatGPT health questions based on their own data rather than in a vacuum. After connecting Apple Health, Function, or MyFitnessPal, a person can ask how their sleep affects recovery, what their latest test results show, or how to adjust their diet — and get an answer grounded in their real metrics. The feature became publicly available in the US on July 23, 2026. That said, ChatGPT remains an assistant, not a replacement for a doctor: data integration improves the accuracy of context, but medical decisions still require a professional.

What it means

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