OpenAI announced that its ChatGPT Health feature, designed to assist users with health-related queries, is now accessible to all U.S. users aged 18 and above, regardless of their subscription plan. This rollout follows a testing phase initiated in January, during which users could connect data from various health platforms and personal information services.

During the testing period, users were reportedly asking 300 million health-related queries weekly. The feature allows integration with services like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal, as well as medical records from hospital systems such as Epic and Oracle Health. OpenAI noted that a significant portion of health queries, approximately 70%, occurred outside the dedicated health hub, prompting the expansion of its capabilities to general chat interactions.

OpenAI also stated that it does not use user data for model training and collaborates with physicians to enhance health-related responses. Despite these improvements, OpenAI reiterates in its terms of service that the platform is not intended for diagnosing or treating medical conditions, a point it has cited in response to recent legal challenges.
