In the latest version of the ChatGPT app for iPhone, something has been hidden that could significantly change the way we use AI in our daily lives. An Apple Health icon has appeared in the code — and all signs point to the developers preparing for direct integration with Health on iOS. These are not rumors from forums, but a real element found in the app. It was discovered by Aaron Perris, and the information was reported by MacRumors.
What is it about?
In the files of the ChatGPT application, there is graphics with the characteristic icon of Apple Health. The name of the file itself suggests that it will soon be possible to connect ChatGPT with the user's health data. And this means one thing: AI will start responding not only "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 often. Combining this data with a large language model could provide answers tailored to your body, rather than just general fitness recommendations.
Why is it important?
In ChatGPT, you can already connect several "apps and connectors," such as Peloton. However, the list of health services is very limited. Apple Health would be the first major step toward a complete AI-based wellness ecosystem. January is also approaching—the time for New Year's resolutions. As millions of people begin to think seriously about 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. However, history shows that such elements usually precede releases by a few weeks. Therefore, it is possible that Apple Health will appear in ChatGPT before the New Year.
What will the user gain?
more personalized analyses of workouts and sleep,
suggestions tailored to actual results,
easier monitoring of habits through simple conversation,
the ability to create health reports and goals based on data, not guesses.
In summary: 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.
