Microsoft has launched a preview version of Copilot Health, an AI-powered platform that allows users to aggregate health records, wearable device data and other personal health information in one place.
The tool is available to U.S. users ages 18 and older who subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, Family or Premium plans. Users can access the platform through Copilot’s web interface using a consumer account.
According to a May 29 Microsoft news release, Copilot Health enables users to build personal health profiles, connect Apple Health data and access records from more than 50,000 U.S. provider organizations.
Microsoft said the platform can answer health-related questions, provide personalized insights based on users’ health information and help users identify healthcare providers by specialty, language, insurance coverage and location.
Microsoft said health conversations within Copilot Health are kept separate from other Copilot interactions and are not used to train AI models. Users can manage or remove connected health data sources, and information is encrypted in storage and during transmission.
The product was developed with input from an internal clinical team and an external panel of more than 250 physicians from 24 countries, according to Microsoft. Organizations affiliated with the National Health Council also helped shape the platform.
Microsoft said Copilot Health’s information is informed by sources from thousands of health organizations and incorporates principles published by the National Academy of Medicine, along with work conducted through a partnership with Harvard Health.
The launch follows Microsoft’s March announcement of Copilot Health and marks the next phase of the company’s rollout strategy, which includes expanding access and adding features over time.
Microsoft said Copilot Health remains in preview and that features, usage limits and availability may change as testing continues. The company also said the platform is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease and should not replace professional medical advice.
