OpenAI is launching ChatGPT Health, which is a special place within ChatGPT where you can connect your Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, Function, Weight Watchers, AllTrails, Instacart, and Peloton accounts and ask questions about your health. OpenAI says ChatGPT is “designed in close collaboration with physicians” to “help people take a more active role in understanding and managing their health and wellness”. And use ChatGPT more.
Based on “de-identified analysis of conversations”, OpenAI knows that over 230 million people across the globe already ask ChatGPT about health and wellness, and ChatGPT Health is meant as a place to more safely do that.
In Health, there’s “purpose-built encryption and isolation”, OpenAI’s press release says, “to keep health conversations protected and compartmentalized”. The company also promises it won’t use your Health chats to train its models, and points out that if you want extra security you can enable multi-factor authentication.
OpenAI is partnering with b.well, “the largest and most secure network of live, connected health data for US consumers”, which “adheres to the highest industry standards in data security and privacy” if you want to connect your medical records too.
The special Health model can, among other things, explain lab results in accessible language, prepare questions for an appointment, interpret data from wearables and wellness apps, and summarize care instructions. To use Health, just select it from the sidebar menu in ChatGPT.
ChatGPT Health is now available to “a small group of early users” outside of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK. Medical record integrations are US-only.
