Initially in the USA: Microsoft aims to pave way for "Medical Superintelligence"

Microsoft is launching Copilot Health, an AI assistant that bundles and analyzes as much health data as possible – initially in the USA.

With Microsoft Copilot Health, all health data is to be bundled and explained to prepare customers for doctor's visits.

Microsoft has introduced “Copilot Health”, an AI assistant specifically designed for health-related questions. It bundles personal health data from wearables, medical records, and labs in a central, secure environment and presents it in a user-friendly way. The service will initially be available in the USA and is intended as a supplementary source of information for patients, not as a medical product or a substitute for medical consultations. The service is available in the USA for those over 18 years of age who sign up for a trial.

The image shows a user interface of Microsoft Copilot Health, specifically the area for connecting health data sources. Four options are visible, which are currently still deactivated or have sliders: Connect your health records – for medical records or electronic patient records; Connect to Apple Health – for data from Apple Health; Connect to Oura – for data from the Oura Ring; Connect to Function – presumably another health source or fitness platform. — Using sliders, users can specify which health data they entrust to Microsoft.

According to Microsoft, Copilot Health is intended to aggregate data from over 50 wearable platforms, such as Apple Health, Fitbit, and the Oura Ring, as well as clinical information from a network of more than 50,000 healthcare facilities in the USA via the HealthEx platform. From this data, the system aims to evaluate activity, sleep, vital signs, or lab results and visualize them in a way that gives users a better overview of their health status.

No diagnoses or therapy recommendations

Microsoft explicitly emphasizes that Copilot Health does not provide diagnoses or therapy recommendations. It is intended to help users interpret symptoms, understand lab values, and prepare targeted questions for doctor's appointments to make consultations more efficient.

Health-related chats in Copilot Health are to take place in a separate, isolated area, distinct from general Copilot usage. Microsoft leaves details about this and about security measures for data transmission open. Health data would not be used to improve the AI models.

To answer medical questions, Copilot Health uses content from health organizations from around 50 countries. Clinical safety was overseen by an external committee of over 230 doctors from more than 24 countries. This puts Microsoft in competition with similar AI offerings such as OpenAI's ChatGPT Health, the weaknesses of which were recently revealed in a study. It is still unclear when and whether Copilot Health will also be available in Germany.
