In the latest version of the ChatGPT app for iPhone, something has been hidden that could significantly change the way we use AI on a daily basis. An Apple Health icon has appeared in the code — and everything suggests that the creators are preparing for direct integration with Health in iOS. These aren't rumours from forums, but a real element found in the app. It was discovered by Aaron Perris, and the information was described by MacRumors.
What’s it about?
In the files of the ChatGPT application, there is a graphic featuring the distinctive icon of Apple Health. The file name itself suggests that it will soon be possible to connect ChatGPT with the user’s health data. And that means one thing: AI will start responding not just “generally,” but also based on data about your sleep, activity, breathing, or diet. So we are talking about the first real step towards a full-fledged health AI assistant.
What data would ChatGPT see?
The leak shows several categories:
activity and workouts,
sleep and its quality,
diet and eating habits,
breathing,
hearing health.
These are exactly the areas that the Apple Watch monitors every day and that iPhone users use most frequently. Combining this data with a large language model can provide responses tailored to your body, rather than just general fitness recommendations.
Why is this important?
In ChatGPT, you can already connect several “apps and connectors,” like Peloton. But the list of health services is quite limited. Apple Health would be the first major step towards a complete wellness ecosystem based on AI. January is also approaching — the time for New Year’s resolutions. As millions of people start thinking intensively about their health, such integration would be a home run for OpenAI.
Is the feature certain?
No. The presence of graphics in the code only indicates that preparations or tests are underway. But history shows that such elements usually precede releases by a few weeks. Therefore, it's quite possible that Apple Health will appear in ChatGPT before the New Year.
What will users gain?
more personalised analyses of workouts and sleep,
suggestions tailored to actual results,
easier tracking of habits through simple conversation,
the ability to create health reports and goals based on data, not guesses.
In short: ChatGPT could become not only an AI assistant but also a personal trainer, dietitian, and health analyst all in one. If the integration indeed makes it to the app, it will be one of the biggest innovations in the history of the ChatGPT app on iOS — and at the same time the first serious attempt to combine health data with artificial intelligence.
