Not to be outdone by the other household names in consumer technology, Microsoft has now launched Copilot Health, its AI health chatbot within Copilot that knits together health records, health history, and device data from more than 50 wearables, according to a press release. Microsoft says the Copilot platform already responds to some 50 million consumer health questions each day. Through the company’s recently integrated partner platform for sharing health records, HealthEx, the AI tool can integrate patient records from more than 50,000 U.S. hospitals and provider organizations, surfacing visit summaries, medication lists, and test results. And, like many new health-information synthesis tools, there is a waitlist for anyone who wants a test drive. Â
Something for clinicians: The company is also working separately on its AI Diagnostic Orchestrator, a model-agnostic AI platform that is designed to simulate a panel of physicians, propose likely differential diagnoses, and strategically select cost-effective tests. It’s being developed in research environments, and at least 1 paper showed that the model can achieve 80% diagnostic accuracy.
