Previously, the company has partnered with American and European health systems to train the tool. However, South Asians are four times more likely to develop heart disease; with the new training, Microsoft aims to provide South Asian patients with a more accurate cardiac risk score.

This is not the first time Apollo has partnered with an American tech company. In February 2022, the health system collaborated with San Francisco-based 8chili to advance virtual reality in healthcare. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
