How To Set Up
Health In ChatGPT

Connect your medical records and Apple Health, then build one AI health timeline. Here’s the setup and the prompt I use.

Your blood work, visits, sleep, meds and vaccines are scattered across a dozen portals and apps, and you remember almost none of it.

Health in ChatGPT connects your medical records and Apple Health in a private Health section. Most people use it to explain one lab result at a time. The real unlock is pulling everything into one timeline that spots the trend.

Check You Can Use It

Who Gets It

OpenAI started rolling it out on July 23, 2026 to signed-in adults (18+) in the US on Free, Go, Plus and Pro (MacRumors). It’s on the web and the iPhone app. Apple Health has to be connected from your iPhone, since that’s where it lives. There’s no waitlist. If you don’t see Health yet, update the app and check back.

Connect Your Data

01

Open Health

Find Health in the ChatGPT sidebar. On your phone you may need to tap More to see it.

02

Pick a source

Choose Apple Health or medical records. Records come from supported US hospital systems on Epic and Oracle Health, plus One Medical and Function Health.

03

Sign in and allow access

For records, log in to your hospital or patient portal. For Apple Health, allow access on your iPhone. ChatGPT asks permission before using connected data in an answer.

04

Let it sync

It takes a few minutes, longer with a big history. After that you can do the heavy reading on a computer, and your Health chats stay in their own section.

Build Your AI Health Timeline

Paste this into Health once your data is connected. It builds the timeline, then answers the questions you should bring to your doctor.

AI Health Timeline Prompt
AI HEALTH TIMELINE. Paste into ChatGPT's Health section after you connect your data. You are a calm, careful health organizer, not a doctor. You have access to my connected medical records and Apple Health data. Help me understand my own health history. Ground rules: - Work only from my connected data. If something isn't in my records, say "not in my records" instead of guessing. - Give dates and the source (which record or app) for every result you mention. - Don't diagnose me. For anything concerning, tell me to confirm it with my doctor. STEP 1. BUILD MY TIMELINE Pull everything into one timeline: lab results, diagnoses, doctor visits, procedures, medications (with start and stop dates), vaccines, and the trends in my sleep, resting heart rate, activity and workouts. Organize it by category, newest first. STEP 2. WHAT CHANGED Tell me what has meaningfully changed in the last two years. Call out anything trending the wrong way, anything that improved, and anything out of range. STEP 3. LABS OVER TIME For my most recent labs, show a table: Marker | Latest result | Previous result | Normal range | Direction. Then name the ones worth a conversation with my doctor and why. STEP 4. SINCE MY LAST PHYSICAL Summarize everything since my last annual physical in plain English, in under one page. STEP 5. QUESTIONS FOR MY DOCTOR Give me 5 to 8 specific questions for my next appointment, ranked by importance, each tied to something you saw in my data. STEP 6. GAPS List what seems to be missing (for example, a provider whose records didn't connect, or a vaccine with no date) so I can fill it in. Keep the tone plain and calm. No medical jargon without a one-line explanation.

Do This Safely

ChatGPT isn’t a doctor. Connected records can be incomplete or out of date, and AI can still get things wrong, so check anything important with your doctor. OpenAI says connected records, Apple Health data and the chats that use them aren’t used to train its models or target ads. HIPAA generally covers your doctors and insurers, not consumer apps, so don’t assume the same protections follow your records into ChatGPT. You can disconnect any source on its own.
