Microsoft launched Copilot Health, a new artificial intelligence health assistant integrated into its consumer Copilot chatbot, expanding the company’s push into AI-driven medical tools.
The feature allows users in the United States to upload medical records and data from wearable devices into a dedicated health portal within Copilot. The system then analyzes that information to provide personalized health guidance and answer medical-related questions.
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s head of consumer AI, said the company aims to replicate aspects of concierge-style medical support by offering users continuous access to health information powered by AI.
Microsoft said health data shared with Copilot Health will be encrypted and kept separate from other chatbot conversations. The company added that the information will not be used to train its AI models and users will be able to delete their data at any time.
The product was developed with input from an internal clinical team and hundreds of external physicians to improve safety and reliability. Microsoft said the system is designed to provide informational guidance rather than final diagnoses or treatment plans.
The launch comes as major technology firms accelerate efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into healthcare services. Amazon recently introduced a health chatbot on its website and mobile app, while companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic are also developing specialized medical AI assistants.
