OpenAI Expands ChatGPT Health Feature to All US Users

The company is making its ChatGPT Health feature available to all US users, following a lawsuit over a near-fatal suggestion made by the AI assistant.

OpenAI has announced that it is expanding its ChatGPT Health feature to all US users, allowing them to access health-related queries and insights across all plans. The move comes amid a lawsuit over a near-fatal suggestion made by the AI assistant.

The company started testing the feature through a dedicated hub earlier in January, allowing users to integrate data from other services and their personal information from services such as Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal. At that time, OpenAI said users were asking 230 million health-related queries each week. That number has now gone up to 300 million.

Users can also integrate their medical records from hospital systems like Epic and Oracle Health, and health platforms like One Medical and Function Health. OpenAI said earlier that users needed to use the health hub for health-related queries. Now they can choose to draw insights from connected information in the health section in all queries.

The company noted that its models have made progress in answering health-related queries. The company noted that the smallest model from its latest release, GPT 5.6-Luna, outperforms GPT 5.5 on HealthBench evaluation, an open source benchmark developed by the company to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on health queries.

OpenAI said that it doesn't use any user data to train its model, and it works with physicians to improve its models on health queries. Despite these performance gains, the company maintains in its terms that its services are "not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of any health condition."

Several studies have highlighted that AI bots are not reliable for medical advice. However, this has not deterred companies like Anthropic and Google from launching health-related AI features. Health in ChatGPT is rolling out to logged-in U.S. users with free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans on the web and iOS this week.
