Claims
- Health in ChatGPT lets U.S. users connect Apple Health and medical records for personalized health conversations integrated across all ChatGPT chats, not just a dedicated health space.
- More than 70% of health-related conversations among early testers occurred outside the dedicated health experience, driving the decision to integrate health context across the general interface.
- Connected medical records and Apple Health data are not used to train OpenAI's foundation models or target ads, regardless of users' standard model-training settings.
- GPT-5.6 Sol outperforms GPT-5.5 on HealthBench Professional, OpenAI's evaluation of AI on challenging health tasks.
- Over 300 million people turn to ChatGPT with health-related questions each week, demonstrating significant consumer demand.
Key quotes
Every week, more than 300 million people turn to ChatGPT with health-related questions.
Connected medical records and Apple Health information, and conversations that use it, are not used to train our foundation models or target ads, regardless of the model-training setting you choose for ChatGPT.
The most useful part has been turning scattered medical history into something I can actually understand and explain. I have multiple overlapping issues and ChatGPT helped connect those pieces into a clear timeline.
