OpenAI on Wednesday announced ChatGPT Health, which will allow users to securely connect their medical records and wellness apps to the artificial intelligence chatbot.

ChatGPT Health is not intended for diagnosis and treatment, and it’s not supposed to replace medical care, OpenAI said. Rather, the experience is supposed to help users navigate everyday questions, and it aims make ChatGPT’s responses more relevant by grounding them in a user’s own health information.

“ChatGPT Health is another step toward turning ChatGPT into a personal super-assistant that can support you with information and tools to achieve your goals across any part of your life,” Fidji Simo, CEO of applications at OpenAI, wrote in a post on Substack.

OpenAI said ChatGPT Health has its own dedicated space within the chatbot, so all of those files, conversations and connected apps are stored separately from other chats. Information and memories from ChatGPT Health will not flow outside of that space, and those conversations will not be used to train OpenAI’s foundation models, the company said.

The startup has partnered with b.well, which provides the health data connectivity infrastructure that will allow users to share their medical records with ChatGPT Health.

Users will also be able to connect to Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, the lab testing startup Function and other data. Services can be connected from tools or apps in settings.

ChatGPT Health was developed in “close collaboration” with physicians, OpenAI said.

OpenAI has deepened its push into health care in recent months.

After the company launched its GPT-5 model in August, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC that health care was “maybe the area where there’s the strongest improvement of any category.”

In May, it released a benchmark called Health Bench that is designed to measure how well AI models perform in realistic health scenarios.

The startup said Wednesday that “hundreds of millions” of people ask health and wellness questions each week.

ChatGPT Health will initially be made available to a small group of early users that will offer feedback and refine the experience. OpenAI said it will expand access in the coming weeks.
