OpenAI Preps Personal Health Features in ChatGPT

OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a personal health coach, hoping to keep the chatbot one step ahead of rivals like Google.

One feature would let people use ChatGPT to analyze data contained in their personal health apps and wearable devices, such as an Oura ring, Apple Watch or Whoop bracelet, according to two people who have seen designs for the feature. Armed with such information, the chatbot could proactively suggest personalized workout routines or other changes people can make to improve their metrics involving sleep, glucose or other health indicators, these people said.

The new health features could appear as a tab in ChatGPT alongside those for images or apps, one of them said. (Update: After The Information requested a comment from OpenAI about the unannounced initiative, the company published a blog post about it.)
