Major technology companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Apple, are expanding their footprint in healthcare artificial intelligence with new tools aimed at health and wellness coaching, as well as electronic health record documentation.
Here’s a look at their latest initiatives:
Apple
Apple is preparing to launch an AI-powered health service as part of an initiative called “Project Mulberry.”
The service features an AI-driven health coach designed to provide personalized wellness guidance by analyzing health data from iPhones, Apple Watches and third-party devices. Apple is training its AI model with input from in-house physicians and plans to collaborate with external experts in sleep, nutrition, mental health and cardiology.
The AI-powered coach, along with an overhauled Apple Health app, is expected to launch in spring or summer 2026.
Amazon
Amazon is developing its own AI-powered health assistant, dubbed Health AI.
The chatbot is designed to answer health and wellness questions, suggest care options for various medical needs and recommend products. Some responses will include a “clinically verified” badge, indicating that U.S.-based licensed clinicians have reviewed the information.
Google has introduced a new AI feature aimed at helping individuals learn from others with similar health conditions.
The tool, called “What People Suggest,” aggregates online discussions and insights shared by patients managing the same condition. For example, someone with arthritis can use the tool to explore how others incorporate exercise into their routines.
Microsoft
Microsoft is rolling out an AI-powered clinical workflow assistant designed to reduce administrative burdens for healthcare providers.
The assistant, called Dragon Copilot, integrates multiple functions into a single interface, according to a March 3 news release. It combines Dragon Medical One’s speech recognition technology—used to document billions of patient records—with Dragon Ambient eXperience’s ambient AI capabilities.
Dragon Copilot will be available in the U.S. and Canada in May.
