OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Health: A Secure AI Companion for Wellness and Medical Insights

OpenAI’s recent launch of ChatGPT Health marks a significant milestone in making AI more useful for personal wellness and medical insights by allowing users to securely integrate medical records and wellness app data into dedicated health conversations. As more people turn to AI for guidance related to health, fitness, and wellbeing, this development highlights how quickly artificial intelligence is moving into highly sensitive and regulated areas.

With that progress comes increased responsibility. When AI systems interact with personal health information, expectations around data security, transparency, and governance rise sharply. This is where structured frameworks such as ISO 42001, the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems, become essential. ISO 42001 provides organizations with a clear, auditable approach to managing AI risks, including information security, ethical use, accountability, and ongoing oversight. Certification helps demonstrate that AI systems are not only innovative but also trustworthy and well-controlled.

Intertek supports organizations across this journey, helping them implement, assess, and certify AI management systems in line with ISO 42001. Through assurance, training, and technical expertise, Intertek enables businesses to adopt AI confidently while protecting sensitive data and maintaining stakeholder trust. As AI continues to shape healthcare and wellness, strong governance will be just as important as technological capability.
