OpenAI于2026年1月8日（GMT+8）凌晨3:00宣布ChatGPT Health，主打解读医疗检验结果、协助准备看诊，以及提供饮食与运动建议，但明确不做正式诊断。它可连接个人电子病历、穿戴装置与健康应用（如Apple Health、MyFitnessPal），先开放候补名单，并计划在未来数周扩大使用。

此举被定位为OpenAI迄今最大规模的医疗健康布局，也反映科技公司加速抢进高报酬的医疗市场：以AI从大量健康资料中找出模式，进而产生更个人化的建议。相对地，AI处理高度敏感个资与提供高风险情境建议，会同步放大隐私与安全疑虑。

OpenAI指出，每周已有超过2亿人向ChatGPT询问健康与保健问题，显示需求量级已达「亿」级别。公司也称已在两年内咨询超过260位医师以强化能力，并将把健康对话与应用其他部分隔离、加入更强的隐私机制；团队强调其角色是补充医师判断而非取代，并以「医师时间与带宽不足」作为AI可填补的落差。

On Jan. 8, 2026 (3:00 AM GMT+8), OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health, a new ChatGPT feature aimed at helping users interpret medical test results, prepare for doctor visits, and get guidance on diets and workout routines, while stopping short of formal diagnoses. The feature can connect to electronic medical records, wearable devices, and wellness apps such as Apple Health and MyFitnessPal. OpenAI will start with a waitlist and plans broader access in the coming weeks.

The launch is framed as OpenAI’s biggest push into healthcare so far and fits a broader trend: tech companies are targeting the lucrative health market, betting AI can detect patterns in personal health data and generate more individualized recommendations. At the same time, expanding AI into higher-stakes health use cases intensifies concerns about privacy and safety when sensitive data is processed and suggestions may influence medical decisions.

OpenAI said more than 200 million people already ask ChatGPT health and wellness questions each week, indicating demand at a hundreds-of-millions scale. It also reported consulting more than 260 physicians over two years to refine health capabilities, and plans to wall off health conversations from other parts of the app with enhanced privacy features. The company stressed the tool is meant to supplement, not replace, doctors, citing clinicians’ limited time and bandwidth as a gap AI can help address.
