Microsoft launched an AI-powered health companion that analyzes medical records alongside wearable data to deliver personalized insights. Copilot Health debuted Thursday as a separate, secure space within the company's chatbot assistant.
The tool connects to more than 50,000 U.S. hospitals and provider organizations through health tech company HealthEx, pulling visit summaries, medication lists, and test results into a unified profile.
It also integrates data from over 50 wearable devices including Apple HealthKit, Oura rings, and Fitbit trackers.
Users can ask Copilot Health to analyze sleep patterns based on wearable data or identify key health challenges from their medical history. During a demonstration using synthetic data, the system flagged inadequate deep sleep as a potential cardiovascular risk factor for a user with diabetes and high blood pressure history.
Microsoft handles more than 50 million health questions daily across its AI consumer products including Bing and Copilot, according to Dominic King, vice president of health at Microsoft AI. The company found that nearly one in five health-related conversations on Copilot involve users describing their own symptoms or interpreting test results.
Copilot Health arrives through a phased rollout with an active waitlist for early access. Microsoft developed the system with its internal clinical team and an external panel of over 230 physicians from more than 24 countries.
The AI assistant holds ISO/IEC 42001 certification, which verifies its AI management system meets the international standard. Data within Copilot Health remains isolated from general Copilot conversations and isn't used for model training.
Microsoft collaborated with organizations including AARP, which serves 38 million older Americans, and the National Health Council representing over 180 patient advocacy groups during development.
The launch follows similar consumer health moves by Amazon and OpenAI earlier this year. Amazon launched Health AI for One Medical members in January and expanded access to its website and main app this month, while OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT Health two months ago.
