Microsoft’s Copilot Health can connect to your medical records and wearables
Microsoft launched Copilot Health, a secure Copilot feature for managing health data, connecting records, and analyzing wearable data.Summary
Microsoft has announced Copilot Health, a new feature within Copilot designed to help users understand their health information. It allows users to ask questions about lab results and medical records, find healthcare providers, and analyze data from wearable devices. The feature integrates with over 50,000 US hospitals and healthcare organizations via HealthEx and supports data from more than 50 wearable brands like Apple, Oura, and Fitbit. While not a replacement for a doctor, Copilot Health aims to improve health data understanding and provides citations from sources like Harvard Health. Microsoft emphasizes data privacy, isolating chats from general Copilot and not using health data for AI training. Currently, Copilot Health is not HIPAA-compliant, but Microsoft intends to implement HIPAA controls and has achieved ISO 42001 certification for responsible AI practices. Similar features exist from OpenAI (ChatGPT Health) and Amazon, with some offering HIPAA compliance.
