Microsoft has launched Copilot Health, a dedicated space within its Copilot AI assistant that brings together and analyzes users’ health data from wearables, electronic health records, and lab results.
The new feature can combine data like activity levels and sleep patterns from wearable devices, such as an Oura ring or Fitbit, as well as health records from more than 50,000 U.S. hospitals and provider organizations through a platform called HealthEx. The company says Copilot Health then draws on verified sources from credible health organizations across 50 countries and serves expert-written answer cards from Harvard Health. It also connects to real-time U.S. provider directories so users can search for clinicians by specialty, location, language, and insurance coverage.
Microsoft says its Copilot tool is already handling more than 50 million consumer health questions a day across its products and describes Copilot Health as a stepping stone toward what it calls “medical superintelligence.”
“This work paves the way to providing users with trusted access to medical superintelligence—health AI that can ultimately combine the wide-ranging knowledge of a general physician, with the depth of a specialist,” the company said in a blog post.
