A clear, structured “Medical Background Profile” enables ChatGPT to instantly access your medical history, medications, and clinician guidance.

Format for Medical Background Profile for ChatGPT
(For use in medical discussions with AI — not a substitute for professional medical advice)
1. Personal Details
2. Major Medical Conditions
3. Past Surgeries & Procedures
4. Current Medications & Supplements
5. Allergies
6. Functional Status
7. Current Concerns / Goals
8. Care Team
ChatGPT filled in what we already know from our past conversations, so this is 90% complete. That way, you’ll only have to add missing details.
Procedure:
- Prepare the file.
- Keep it on your computer.
- Submit file to GPT-5
- Before starting a medical-related conversation with me, paste it into the chat with something like:
“Here is my current health profile. Please use this as background for our discussion.”
This way, ChatGPT can pick up exactly where your clinicians left off, and you won’t have to repeat your history every time.
- Once ChatGPT has the extra details, it will incorporate them into the profile, providing a clean, ready-to-use version that can be pasted into any future ChatGPT medical conversation
- Upload updates:
- Medication names and doses
- Any extra diagnoses or procedures
- Allergies
- Mobility and activity notes
- Current treatment plans
Details about the "master medical file."
The three parts:
- The format — so it’s easy to update and review.
- The contents — what to include from each specialty.
- How to use it with GPT-5 — to get the “big picture” guidance you’re looking for.
1. The Format
Keep everything in a single document or spreadsheet so that it's all in one place.
- Best format for text analysis in GPT-5:
- A Word doc (.docx) or text file (.txt) if you want to paste into chat.
- A spreadsheet (.xlsx or Google Sheets) if you want more structured tracking.
- Organize by section, using clear headings.
Example heading layout:
I. Personal Summary
II. Current Diagnoses
III. Medications
IV. Medical History
V. Lab & Imaging Results
VI. Current Symptoms
VII. Specialist Reports
VIII. Upcoming Appointments
IX. Questions for Doctors
2. The Contents
I. Personal Summary
- Name, age, gender
- Height, weight, BMI
- Allergies
- Key conditions (short list)
- Advance directive notes (if any)
II. Current Diagnoses
- List all active conditions by system (Heart, Urinary, Cancer, etc.)
- Include the date of diagnosis
- Note whether the condition is stable, worsening, or improving
Example:
System Condition Date Diagnosed Current Status
Heart Atrial fibrillation 2021-05 Stable
Urology Recurrent UTIs 2018 Worsening
Oncology Prostate cancer 2024-01 Under treatment
III. Medications
- Name, dose, frequency
- Prescribing doctor
- Reason for use
- Side effects you’ve noticed
IV. Medical History
- Major surgeries
- Significant illnesses
- Hospitalizations (date, reason)
V. Lab & Imaging Results
- Keep the most recent results AND past trends for comparison
- Include normal ranges for context
- Example: PSA levels over time, echocardiogram EF percentages, kidney function labs
VI. Current Symptoms
- Date started, severity, frequency
- What makes them better/worse
- Which doctor (if any) is monitoring it
VII. Specialist Reports
- Copy/paste the main points or attach summaries from each specialist visit
- Include recommendations and follow-ups
VIII. Upcoming Appointments
- Date, doctor, specialty, purpose
IX. Questions for Doctors
- Maintain a running list
- Separate general health questions from specialist-specific ones
Example:
- General: “Are any of my meds interacting?”
- Cardiology: “What’s my latest ejection fraction and trend?”
- Oncology: “What are next steps if PSA continues to rise?”
3. How to Use with GPT-5
When you paste this into GPT-5, you can say:
“Here’s my master medical file. Please review it and give me:
- A summary of all my health issues in plain English
- Any overlaps or interactions between my conditions/treatments
- A prioritized list of questions to ask at my next doctor visits.”

. | I prepared and uploaded my seven-page Medical Master File as GPT-5 suggested in |
It took me two days to compile notes from my doctors and hospitals in a format that GPT-5 could understand. In a matter of seconds, GPT-5 analyzed my submittal and sent me recommendations to discuss with each of my clinicians. I stored for my next appointments.
I then asked,"Will you retain my Medical Master File? Save for how long? Do I have to upload my MMF every time I have a medical question?"
CHATGPT
I don’t automatically keep your Medical Master File in long-term memory.
Here’s how it works:
In our current chat, I have full access to the file you uploaded, so I can refer back to it while we’re still talking.
Once this conversation ends, the file itself is not stored permanently by me.
Unless you explicitly ask me to “remember” specific facts from your medical history (using my persistent memory feature), you’ll need to upload the file again the next time you want me to review it.
If you would like me to retain your core medical details so you don’t have to re-upload them every time, I can store a summary of the essential points in my memory, but I won’t store the actual file. That summary would stay until you ask me to forget it.
Would you like me to save a condensed version of your MMF for future reference, so you don’t have to re-upload it each time?
I said, "Please save a condensed version of my MMF for future questions".
GPT took about a minute and said, "Got it — I’ve saved a condensed version of your Medical Master File so I can reference it in future questions without you needing to re-upload the document.
