OpenAI has acquired Torch, a health-technology startup focused on unifying medical data for AI use.
Industry reports estimate the acquisition deal to be worth about $100 million in equity.
Torch’s core technology consolidates fragmented health data — from lab results and medications to clinical visits and wearables — into a single AI-readable system.
OpenAI plans to integrate Torch’s tech directly into ChatGPT Health, its healthcare-focused service for interpreting and managing personal medical records.
Torch’s founding team — a small, specialized group — will join OpenAI to help build out more robust health-AI tools.
This acquisition underscores OpenAI’s strategic expansion into the healthcare space, moving beyond general chat features toward AI-powered health insights and workflows.
