LLMs integrating Health data

OpenAI announced ChatGPT Health last month and I signed up for the waitlist.

This is an interesting project, but I couldn’t help but wonder why Apple didn’t do something like this. This is such a low hanging fruit. Apple Health already has access to everything and generating insights is such a low hanging fruit. This could be totally done with on-device LLMs. Seems like a wasted opportunity.

Claude recently introduced a Health integration feature too.

I tried it and it seemed very basic. It doesn’t seem to access a lot of data and limits it to sleep and activity. In the future, it might get better, but for now, it’s just not something I’ll continue using.

I hope these features show valuable insights and promote awareness and focus areas to better the user’s health.
