OpenAI Extends ChatGPT Health to US Users, Tying Replies to Personal Medical Records

OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health to US adults, enabling the chatbot to reference personal medical data from doctor notes, test results, and records from Apple Health via HealthKit and providers like Kaiser Permanente or One Medical; it aims to ground health conversations in records, summarize appointments, and interpret tests, but not diagnose; users can control data usage and disconnect anytime; privacy safeguards include not using data to train models or target ads, though the rollout amid lawsuits and Apple-related concerns adds some sensitivity to data sharing.
