OpenAI plans to develop a medical application. What will its functionality include?

OpenAI plans to expand its activities into the healthcare sector and develop medical applications, Business Insider reports.

According to the publication’s sources, OpenAI is exploring the possibility of creating a personal medical assistant or a platform for collecting and managing user health data.

In June 2025, OpenAI invited Nate Gross, co-founder of Doximity, to lead its healthcare strategy. In August, Ashley Alexander from Instagram joined the team as vice president of medical product development.

Investors believe that OpenAI can solve a problem that large technology companies have been struggling with for years — creating a single personal medical record (medical chart). Such data is currently scattered across different medical institutions.

Previously, similar initiatives were launched by Microsoft, Google, and Apple, but most of them failed due to the complexity of data consolidation and privacy protection.

In November 2025, OpenAI announced that the number of business users of its products had exceeded 1 million.

Its clients include Amgen, Booking.com, Cisco, T-Mobile, Target, Morgan Stanley, Lowe’s, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and other large businesses.
