New Delhi: OpenAI has reported that they are going to collaborate with Apple to bring integration between the iPhone’s Health application and ChatGPT for iOS. According to some reports, the latest build of the ChatGPT iOS application contains references indicating that ChatGPT may soon be able to access Apple Health data to deliver more personalised responses to health-related queries. The capability appears to be inactive for now and is likely to undergo internal testing.
The latest ChatGPT application update contains a hidden image of the Apple Health icon within its code. The code strings further suggest that users may eventually be able to link the Apple Health application with ChatGPT to receive tailored, more accurate insights based on their fitness and wellness metrics. The internal references point to ChatGPT potentially being able to read several Apple Health categories covering activity, sleep, nutrition, breathing and hearing data. There is currently no indication that Apple Health integration is being tested publicly or in any beta builds, implying that the feature remains in early development.
Apple may also choose to announce this capability as part of the broader Health application revamps that are expected next year with iOS 27. Earlier this year, Apple was preparing a significant redesign of the Health application, which may include the latest AI-powered coaching features aimed at offering personalised wellness and behaviour improvement guidance. This revamp is expected to include export-led video content that provides insights into health conditions and lifestyle changes. Apple is also stated to be working on AI-based fitness coaching tools to help users fine-tune their workout form, along with expanded food-tracking features.
