OpenAI makes ChatGPT Health available to all U.S. users, integrates with Apple Health and more
OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Health to all users in the United States, enabling integration with personal health data from Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. The move marks OpenAI's entry into the AI-powered consumer health management space.
OpenAI announced on July 23 that ChatGPT Health is now available to all U.S. users, expanding access to its AI-powered health management feature. Previously limited to a testing group, the feature is now open to anyone in the United States who wants to discuss their health data with ChatGPT.
According to TechCrunch, ChatGPT Health allows users to connect their personal data from services including Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal directly into the ChatGPT experience. This means users can share step counts, calorie intake, heart rate data, and other health metrics with the AI assistant for personalized insights and analysis.
Apple Health serves as the central health data hub on iOS devices, MyFitnessPal is one of the most widely used diet and exercise tracking platforms, and Function focuses on biomarker testing services. Together, these integrations give ChatGPT Health visibility into a broad spectrum of personal health signals, from daily activity to nutrition and deeper biological metrics.
ChatGPT Health positions OpenAI's conversational AI as a health management companion rather than a medical diagnostic tool. Users interact with ChatGPT in natural language to explore trends in their health data, set fitness goals, or get context on specific health indicators. This creates an accessible, low-friction way for consumers to engage with their personal health information.
The launch comes as major tech companies race to define the AI-health market. Apple continues to deepen AI capabilities within its health ecosystem, while Google pushes health-related applications through Gemini. OpenAI's consumer-first approach leverages ChatGPT's massive existing user base to establish trust in AI-assisted health conversations.
For now, ChatGPT Health is limited to users in the United States, with no announced timeline for international expansion. Data privacy and regulatory compliance remain open questions — how OpenAI handles sensitive health information and whether it meets standards like HIPAA will determine how quickly both consumers and healthcare professionals embrace the product.

One tampered ChatGPT link could spawn a rogue AI agent taking orders from an attacker every five minutes
AI security firm Zenity Labs has disclosed AgentForger, a vulnerability in OpenAI's ChatGPT Workspace Agents that let a single manipulated link create an autonomous agent under a victim's account. The forged agent inherited the victim's identity and access rights, bypassed approval requirements, and checked the attacker's inbox for new instructions every five minutes — creating a persistent command-and-control channel.
