Add Android Authority on Google:
TL;DR
- ChatGPT Health could soon connect to Google Health on Android.
- It could use your health information to offer insights and advice personalized to your health needs.
- It could also read historical health data to draw inferences from data collected over a longer period of time.
ChatGPT Health was originally announced earlier this year, and OpenAI started rolling it out more widely back in July. However, though the feature is now widely available in the US on both iOS and Android, it’s still lacking a key integration for Android users — Google Health support. iPhone users can already connect ChatGPT Health to Apple Health, but a similar integration with Google Health remains unavailable. Fortunately, that might change soon.

While digging into the latest version of the ChatGPT app on Android (v1.2026.300), we found evidence suggesting OpenAI could soon let you connect ChatGPT to Google Health. Since data from wearables like smartwatches and fitness trackers is usually synced with Google Health, this integration could finally make ChatGPT’s health features more useful.
We found code to add support for several Android Health Connect permissions. Most importantly, the app might support reading historical health data from Google Health. This means it could potentially draw inferences from your health information over a longer period of time. Meanwhile, the “READ_HEALTH_DATA_IN_BACKGROUND” permission suggests the app may be able to access health data without the user explicitly opening it.

Other permissions we spotted include reading health data such as body weight, basal metabolic rate, body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone mass. The app could also read reproductive health data, including menstruation, sexual activity, and ovulation data.
We also spotted two new activities for ChatGPT’s Health Connect rationale and permission-usage interfaces. It’s unclear what these activities will do, but adding them to the app strongly suggests that work on ChatGPT’s Google Health integration is well underway.

We already know ChatGPT Health isn’t meant to be just a way to check your daily steps (though it can do that). OpenAI wants users to rely on the AI to analyze their health information and offer insights and advice. That said, it’s important to note that ChatGPT recently found itself in hot water, after it gave fatal advice to a woman taking seizure medication.
It’s also worth noting that these permissions aren’t yet live in the ChatGPT app, and support for Google Health isn’t live for Android users, either. However, it certainly seems that ChatGPT on Android could soon let users connect Google Health data to the AI.
⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
