At some point, we've all stared at a test result we didn't understand. Worn a device that tracked everything but revealed little. Sat in a clinic waiting room with a list of questions we forgot the moment we sat down for a consultation. Felt that quiet, unsettling feeling that something is off - but had nowhere to take it.
The truth is that most people don't need more information. They need help to make sense of what they already have.
That's what Copilot Health is for.
Today, we're launching Copilot Health, a separate, secure space within Copilot where medical intelligence makes sense of your information and delivers personalized health insights that you can act on.
Copilot Health doesn't replace your doctor. It makes every minute you have with them count more. You arrive prepared, with the right questions, the right context, and the confidence that comes from better understanding your own body.
Copilot Health brings together your health records, wearable data, and health history into one place, then applies intelligence to turn them into a coherent story. Where the connection between your broken sleep and the reasons why become visible. Where you stop scrolling symptoms at midnight and start having better informed conversations.
We're making Copilot Health available through a careful, phased rollout. Today we're opening a waitlist to join our early community shaping the experience.
Health Sources You Can Trust
Long waits, clinician shortages, and uneven access to medical care lead many people turning to online sources for help. From understanding first-time knee pain to finding an open urgent care clinic, our consumer products at Microsoft already respond to over 50 million consumer health questions a day. You can learn more about the health questions people bring to Copilot here.
We've improved the quality and reliability of answers by elevating information from credible health organizations across 50 countries, as verified by our clinical team using principles independently established by the National Academy of Medicine. Responses include clear citations with easy links to source material, alongside expert-written answer cards from Harvard Health. We've also made it easier to find a doctor that accepts your insurance. Copilot Health connects to real-time US provider directories so users can search for clinicians by specialty, location, languages spoken and insurance coverage.
All Your Health Data in One Place
A truly helpful health companion needs to do more than provide general answers - it needs to draw on your health history and goals. Copilot Health gives you a dedicated space to bring all your personal health data together into a comprehensive profile including your:
Towards Medical Superintelligence
Copilot Health makes use of increasingly sophisticated AI to make sense of patterns in your health data, surfacing more proactive and actionable insights.
Initiatives such as our Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) have already demonstrated impressive results in research environments. Forthcoming publications will outline how our systems can be applied across a broader range of clinical cases and conditions.
This work paves the way to providing users with trusted access to medical superintelligence - health AI that can ultimately combine the wide-ranging knowledge of a general physician, with the depth of a specialist. At every step, new AI features drawing on these capabilities will only be released into Copilot Health after rigorous clinical evaluations and with clear labelling.
Safe and Secure by Design
We recognize that having access to your personal and sensitive health information is an important responsibility. Your Copilot Health conversations and data are isolated from general Copilot and kept under additional access, privacy, and safety controls. Data in Copilot Health is protected with industry leading safeguards, including encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls, and the ability to manage and delete your information when you choose. You can disconnect your connectors to health data sources such as electronic health records or wearables instantaneously at any time. Your information in Copilot Health is not used for model training.
Copilot Health is developed with our internal clinical team and informed by an external panel of over 230 physicians from more than 24 countries, who contribute medical expertise, safety feedback, and real-world perspective. Microsoft's responsible AI principles guide how Copilot Health is designed, developed, and deployed, with a focus on fairness, transparency, and accountability. These principles shape our product decisions - from data handling and model development to monitoring and incident response.
Copilot Health has achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the world's first standard for AI management systems, meaning an independent third party has verified how we build, govern, and continuously improve the AI behind this service.
Building For All
We are designing Copilot Health with a diverse set of users, working in collaboration with organizations like the AARP, who serve the interests of 38 million older Americans, and the National Health Council, representing over 180 patient advocacy groups. Our goal is for everyone to be able to use Copilot Health confidently.
