Microsoft has introduced Copilot Health, a new feature within Copilot that provides a secure platform for users to access lab results, medical records, find healthcare providers, analyze wearable data, and engage in health-related conversations. The rollout will be phased, with interested users able to join a waitlist for access.
Copilot Health is designed to enhance users’ understanding of their health data rather than replace professional medical advice. It allows users to import medical records from a vast network of US hospitals and healthcare organizations via HealthEx and lab test results using Function. Moreover, the feature is compatible with a wide range of wearable devices, such as Apple, Oura, and Fitbit, displaying data like step count and appointment reminders based on user preferences.
Additionally, users can leverage Copilot Health to discover healthcare professionals through real-time US provider directories, filtering by specialty, location, language, and accepted insurance plans.
Microsoft emphasizes the credibility and reliability of information within Copilot Health, citing partnerships with reputable health organizations worldwide. Answers provided are sourced and expertly curated, with links to references and contributions from entities like Harvard Health.
The privacy and security of user data are paramount, with chats in Copilot Health isolated and safeguarded through stringent access controls. Microsoft assures users of stringent privacy measures to protect their data.
