Copilot Health in Preview: Personalized health insights powered by AI

A vast amount of health data is available today, but understanding how it all connects can be challenging. Your wearable devices may track your sleep and daily activity, your medical records may hold years of health history, and laboratory results provide another dimension of health information. However, this data is often scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult to see the complete picture of your health.

To address this challenge, Microsoft has introduced Copilot Health in Preview , a new AI-powered health experience designed to bring personal health information, medical records, and wellness data together in one secure environment. Built within Microsoft Copilot, the service aims to help users better understand their health through personalized insights, trusted medical information, and intelligent guidance.

Copilot Health is built within Microsoft Copilot and aims to help users better understand their health through personalized insights, reliable medical information, and AI-powered intelligent advice.

This service is currently available in preview for eligible users in the United States, marking another significant step for Microsoft in leveraging AI to support more data-driven and proactive healthcare decision-making.

What is Copilot Health in Preview?

Copilot Health in Preview is an AI experience designed specifically for healthcare within Microsoft Copilot, allowing users to consolidate health profiles, medical records, wearable data, and health questions into a single, secure workspace.

Instead of providing generic health information, Copilot Health is designed to deliver personalized insights based on the user's health history, health goals, and existing health data.

This platform helps users understand medical information more clearly and prepares them for discussions with doctors or other healthcare professionals.

Microsoft's goal is to create a more connected and accessible healthcare experience, enabling users to understand their health status and consider appropriate approaches to consulting with medical professionals.

Key features of Copilot Health

Personalized Health Profile

Users can create a personalized health profile by adding their health information and health goals.

This allows Copilot Health to provide more relevant insights and advice tailored to each individual's specific needs.

Connected Health Data

Copilot Health can integrate data from wearable devices, health applications, and medical records to display them in a single view.

Bringing all the data together provides users with a more comprehensive overview of their health and well-being.

Intelligent Health Insights

Powered by AI and medical expertise, the platform can help explain health trends, interpret health data, and provide personalized advice based on available data and ongoing conversations.

Trusted Health Guidance

Copilot Health provides answers based on credible health organizations and medical expertise.

This allows users to access more reliable health information than general information searches on the internet.

Care Navigation Support

The platform can help you find healthcare providers based on various criteria, such as:

• Specialized expertise
• Location
• language
• Health insurance

It helps users access medical services that are tailored to their needs more easily.

Developed with a focus on privacy, security, and data integrity.

Health data is one of the most sensitive types of personal information, which is why Microsoft prioritizes the design of Copilot Health in Preview with a high level of privacy and security in mind.

According to Microsoft, health conversations are stored separately from other data within Copilot and are not used to train AI models.

Users retain full control over their health data and can manage or disconnect from various data sources at any time.

Furthermore, the platform was developed in collaboration with doctors, healthcare professionals, and the Responsible AI team to help reduce the risk of inaccurate health data and enhance user safety.

Microsoft further stated that Copilot Health adheres to the principles of Responsible AI, which focuses on

• Fairness
• Transparency
• Inclusiveness
• Human Accountability

This includes certification to ISO/IEC 42001 for AI system management.

Who can use Copilot Health?

At launch, Copilot Health in Preview is available to users in the United States at:

• Must be 18 years of age or older.
• Sign up for Microsoft 365 Personal.
• Sign up for Microsoft 365 Family.
• Sign up for Microsoft 365 Premium.

The service is currently available through the web version of Copilot.

Microsoft states that features and accessibility may be expanded further in the future based on user feedback and ongoing development.

Currently, Work Accounts and Enterprise Accounts are not eligible to participate in the Preview program.

Why is Copilot Health important?

In the past, health data was often scattered across multiple systems, organizations, and applications.

As a result, many people are unable to clearly understand the connections between different pieces of health information.

Copilot Health aims to bridge this gap by creating an AI-driven environment that integrates personal medical records, wearable data, and trusted medical knowledge.

Helping people better understand their own health information and prepare them for health decisions can effectively promote health literacy, patient engagement, and overall healthcare.

Important limitations

While Copilot Health can provide valuable health insights, Microsoft has made it clear that the platform is not intended to

• Diagnose
• Treating
• cure
• Prevent disease

Copilot Health cannot replace advice, diagnosis, or treatment from qualified physicians and healthcare professionals.

Users should view Copilot Health as a support tool for information and guidance, not as a substitute for medical experts.

Conclusion

With Copilot Health, Microsoft is expanding the use of AI from productivity to personalized health support. The integration of medical records, data from wearable devices, reliable medical information, and AI-powered intelligent advice enables the platform to offer a new, more comprehensive approach to understanding one's own health. Although still in preview, Copilot Health demonstrates the increasingly important role AI may play in the future, helping people access health information, understand their own health, and make more informed health decisions.
