Health in ChatGPT expands to eligible U.S. users

We’re starting to roll out a new health experience in ChatGPT. Logged-in Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users in the United States who are 18 or older can securely connect supported health records and Apple Health data, see a dashboard of their health information, and ask questions grounded in their personal health context.

Available on web and iOS, Health lets you view lab results, medications, activity, sleep, and other health information in one place. You can ask questions directly in ChatGPT or use the Health tab to explore trends, prepare for appointments, understand test results, track wellness goals, and think through questions to discuss with a healthcare professional. The experience builds on feedback from early testers and gives you control over what you connect and when ChatGPT can use it.

Health is built with layered privacy and security safeguards. Connected medical records and Apple Health information, and conversations that use it, are not used to train our foundation models or target ads.

ChatGPT Health is designed to support, not replace, medical care and is not intended for diagnosis or treatment.

ChatGPT desktop app experience updates

We’ve updated the ChatGPT desktop app to make it easier to choose between Chat and Work, find your conversations and Projects, and continue Work across devices. These updates are now live for all plans on macOS and Windows.

macOS and Windows

  • A clearer desktop layout: A global switcher lets you choose between ChatGPT and Codex. In ChatGPT, choose Chat for quick questions and conversational help, or Work to complete tasks end to end.

  • Unified Recents: Chat and Work conversations now appear together in Recents, where you can sort, filter, and pin them.

  • Projects in the desktop app: Your existing ChatGPT Projects now appear in the app. You can start a Chat conversation inside a Project or begin a Work thread using Project context.

  • Continue Work across devices: Cloud Work conversations now sync across web, mobile, and desktop, so you can start on one surface and continue on another. Local conversations stay on your computer.

  • Codex remains unchanged: As part of this update, Codex remains a separate view, and its workflows and history are unchanged. Quick Chats remain available for fast conversations.

  • No changes to workspace controls: Existing workspace access permissions, security settings, governance, and spend controls are unchanged.
