Full Story

OpenAI has acquired US health-tech startup Torch for more than USD 100 million. The acquisition brings Torch into OpenAI’s growing healthcare efforts, including its recently launched ChatGPT Health feature.

Torch has been building a product that helps users bring scattered medical records into one place and use AI to better understand them. OpenAI said Torch’s work fits closely with ChatGPT Health, which lets users upload health data and talk to the chatbot about test results, appointments, diet, and workouts.

OpenAI said privacy will remain a priority. The company has committed that health data and conversations inside ChatGPT Health will stay private and will not be used to train its core AI models. Torch’s leadership team and employees are expected to join OpenAI as part of the deal.

Torch was founded in January 2025 and focuses on helping people make sense of their medical information using AI. The company serves individuals who want a clearer view of their health data and how it connects across hospitals, labs, and devices. It operates in the United States.
