Matt Wolfe explains OpenAI's new ChatGPT Health feature, which lets users securely connect medical records and wellness apps (examples named: Apple Health, MyFitnessPal) so ChatGPT can provide personalized help: interpreting recent test results, preparing for doctor appointments, advising on diet/workout routines, and comparing insurance trade-offs based on health patterns. He raises privacy concerns about whether insurers could access this data. The feature is described as being in beta and accessible via a waitlist; health conversations live in a separate ChatGPT section from regular chats.

So ChatGPT introduced ChatGPT Health. You can now securely connect medical records and wellness apps like Apple health function and MyFitnessPal. So ChatGPT can help you understand recent test results, prepare for appointments with your doctor, get advice on how to approach your diet and workout routine, or understand the trade offs of different insurance options based on your health care patterns. That sounds fun. Wait, does that mean they're going to send your health data to insurance companies that are going to use it to decide whether or not to give you coverage anyway? So Right now, this ChatGPT Health feature is in like a beta. You actually have to get on a wait list to use it. And apparently this is like a whole new section of Chat GPT. So your normal chatgpt chats will be in one section, and the health data where you're talking about all the health stuff is in a completely different section.
