Quick answer: OpenAI is rolling out Health in ChatGPT to logged-in U.S. users aged 18 or older on the Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. On web or iOS, open Health from the ChatGPT sidebar (or the More menu), select Get started, and connect Apple Health, supported U.S. medical records, One Medical, or Function Health. Availability is rolling out, so the option may not appear for every eligible account immediately.
Important: ChatGPT Health can help you understand and organize information, but it does not replace a qualified medical professional and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or treatment. Seek urgent medical care for emergencies.

How to connect Apple Health or medical records
- Sign in to ChatGPT on the web or in the iOS app.
- Open Health in the sidebar. If it is hidden, open the More menu.
- Select Get started or Connect Health.
- Choose Apple Health, Medical Records, One Medical, Function Health, or another source shown in your account.
- Review the permissions carefully and approve only the information you want to connect.
- Wait for the initial sync, which OpenAI says may take a few minutes.
- Review conditions and medications for incomplete or outdated entries before relying on a summary.
If you use a wearable, fitness app, or nutrition app that shares data through Apple Health, first confirm that sharing is enabled inside Apple Health. The specific metrics ChatGPT can access depend on what the source app makes available; proprietary scores may not transfer.
What you can do after connecting Health
- Ask for a plain-language explanation of a visit note or lab report.
- Compare a new lab result with earlier results and identify questions for your clinician.
- Summarize changes since your last appointment.
- Explore how sleep, activity, and workouts relate to a routine.
- Create an appointment-preparation checklist based on your records.
- Review synced records and recent trends from the Health dashboard.
Once syncing is complete, you can ask questions anywhere in ChatGPT. By default, ChatGPT asks permission before using connected Health information in a response. You can approve access once, choose to always allow it, or explicitly include the data by adding @Health to a message.
10 useful prompts to copy and adapt
1. @Health Summarize the main changes in my recent lab results in plain language. List questions I should ask my doctor, and do not diagnose me.
2. @Health Create a one-page timeline of my recent visits, tests, medication changes, and follow-up dates.
3. @Health Compare my latest result with earlier results. Flag missing context and tell me what to verify in the original record.
4. @Health Turn this visit note into three sections: what happened, what I need to do, and questions for my next appointment.
5. @Health Help me prepare for my appointment. Create a concise list of symptoms, medications, recent changes, and questions to discuss.
6. @Health Review my medication list for duplicate or outdated entries in the record. Do not recommend changes; give me a verification checklist for my pharmacist or doctor.
7. @Health Summarize my sleep and activity trends for the last four weeks without assuming causation.
8. @Health Suggest lower-impact activity ideas that account for the recent injury in my records. Remind me to confirm suitability with my clinician.
9. @Health Identify medical terms in this report and explain each in simple language, while preserving uncertainty.
10. @Health Draft a factual summary I can bring to a new healthcare provider. Separate confirmed records from details I told you.Privacy and data controls to check
- Training and ads: OpenAI says connected medical records and Apple Health information—and conversations that use that information—are not used to train its foundation models or target ads, regardless of your general model-training setting.
- Permission: ChatGPT asks before using connected Health data by default. Review or change this under Settings > Plugins > Health.
- Disconnecting: You can disconnect a source in Health > Accounts. OpenAI says synced data from that source is deleted from its systems within 30 days.
- Conversation history: Information already copied into a conversation remains there until you delete that conversation.
- Memory: Memories may be created from Health conversations, but OpenAI says they are not created directly from connected medical records or Apple Health data. Use Temporary Chat or turn memory off if you do not want a conversation to create memories.
- Accuracy: Check medication lists, conditions, dates, and important results against the original record because synced information can be incomplete or outdated.
If ChatGPT Health is missing
- Confirm that you are signed in and meet the U.S. and 18+ requirements.
- Check both the sidebar and the More menu.
- Update the ChatGPT iOS app, or try the web version.
- Remember that this is a rollout, not a guarantee of immediate access to every eligible account.
- Do not use unofficial browser extensions or share medical credentials with third parties claiming to unlock the feature.
