Your doctor's new coworker is ChatGPT 🩺
what's this ChatGPT Health thing?

OpenAI just switched on Health for all US users 18 and up, free plans included. You can securely connect Apple Health and supported medical records so ChatGPT actually knows your context.

🤷 why would I want that?

300 million people already ask ChatGPT health questions every week. Now it can compare new labs to old ones, track changes, and prep questions for your next visit. Albeit, there are some users who aren’t exactly happy about the medical advice they’ve received so far.

and my data just... goes to OpenAI?

OpenAI says connected health records and the conversations that use them are not used to train models or target ads. You control what gets connected, and you can unplug any of it whenever you want.

Though, it’s important to note that your uploaded medical records lose HIPAA protections as soon as you upload them.

Meta's feel good AI ad flops 🎞️
🤔 what's the ad?

Zuckerberg dropped a video declaring "we're betting on people," wrapping Meta's AI push in warm footage from Facebook's early days. Pure 2004 nostalgia.

The future is for everyone.

so what's everyone mad about?

Timing. It landed the same week an AI model went rogue, and days after Meta employees sued over AI driven layoffs they say targeted workers on medical and parental leave.

why lean so hard on 2004?

Marketing professors call the nostalgia a redirect, asking you to judge Meta's AI by its 2004 identity instead of its 2026 reputation. It never answers what happens to users once AI runs the platform.

🧭 weekly challenge: give your health history a brain
what's the challenge?

This week, set up ChatGPT Health and make it earn its keep before your next doctor visit.

📲 Step 1: Plug in your data. Open Health from the ChatGPT sidebar (US, 18+) and connect Apple Health or your patient portal records.
🧪 Step 2: Build your timeline. Ask for a plain English summary of your last two years: visits, diagnoses, medications, and how your lab results have trended.
Step 3: Prep your appointment. Tell it when your next visit is and have it draft five questions worth asking, based on what actually changed since last time.
🔒 Step 4: Check the tap. Ask it to list exactly what data is connected, then switch off anything you're not comfortable sharing.

Would you hand ChatGPT your medical history? And is Zuckerberg's nostalgia play smart marketing or a dodge? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
