OpenAI appears to be working on Apple Health integration for ChatGPT, although it is unclear when the functionality might be made available to the public.

The latest version of the ChatGPT app for the iPhone contains a new image of the Apple Health icon hidden within the app's code. The image's file name suggests that it will be possible to connect the Apple Health app to ChatGPT, so that you can receive more personalized and useful answers based on your health and fitness data.

The image shows that ChatGPT would be able to tap into several Apple Health categories related to your activity, sleep, diet, breathing, and hearing.

While the ChatGPT app for the iPhone was updated on Monday, it is unclear when this functionality will go live, if ever. Should the plans move forward, Apple Health would be available in ChatGPT's settings, under Apps & Connectors.

ChatGPT can already connect to many other apps, including Box, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Drive, Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Notion, Slack, and others.

There was a time I experimented with using ChatGPT to help me with my diet and exercise goals as a health coach of sorts. I was exporting data from my calorie counter app and the Withings app since you can’t selectively export data from the Apple Health app. I got some good insights from it that I’m still using today. This integration would have been nice at the time, but I just don’t feel too comfortable feeding ChatGPT more of this data again.

Wasn’t there a rumored on device health coach coming at some point? I’d rather use that.

The last thing I want is health guidance from ChatGPT, and not just I don't want to share my data with it, but also because it isn't reliable and doesn't see the whole picture, only the few bits of data shared. AI is not a licensed medical professional, and MDs I know complain how patients run their numbers through it and then come with the diagnosis, and then complain when the MD doesn't immediately prescribe something but tries to explain it isn't correct.

Can't wait for ChatGPT to tell you to eat rocks or glue on your food because it's healthy while gobbling up all of your health data.

It'd be your own fault for going through multiple steps of creating a ChatGPT account, linking your Apple account to it and then manually selecting information to share with it.

People are acting like this is going to be forced onto them without any permission or notice.

I will not use Apple Intelligence until Apple develops its own in‑house AI, and if that never happens, I am happy to continue using basic Siri. I don't want OpenAI, Copilot, etc. on my iPhone.

You already have to opt-in to use anything but Siri. You can use Apple Intelligence without any issue, all you need is to not opt in to something you don't want to use.

The beginnings of an exciting new product where people's health premium's can go up or down in real time?

Missed your workout for a week? You'll pay for that - literally.

I hate to be a broken record here but people apparently aren't reading the replies.

It is optional. You'd have to complete multiple steps to opt-in to this service. If you don't want it, don't spend time signing up for it.

Unless it is running natively as part of Apple’s stack, then no thanks!

After avoiding giving my personal data away to Big Tech all these years, I’m not about to give it away to Big AI.

I don't trust chat gpt for info sharing but I'm not convinced doctors these days are reliable or see the whole picture anymore. Every specialist only see their niche and has no idea how things interact. I've seen so many this year and they're a constant disappointment. I'm definitely interested in LLMs being able to analyze things from all angles
