Microsoft has launched Copilot Health as a separate, secure space inside its Copilot app designed to turn scattered health information into clearer insights for consumers. The product brings together health records, wearable data and lab results so people can view their information in one place and receive personalised explanations about everyday ailments, long-term conditions and general wellbeing. Responses include links and citations to medical sources such as Harvard Health.
The service can connect to more than 50 wearable devices and platforms, including Apple Health, Oura and Fitbit, and can pull records from over 50,000 US hospitals and providers via HealthEx, with permission. Microsoft says Copilot Health can help users prepare for appointments, summarise their medical history and find doctors or hospitals that accept their insurance. The company presents the tool as a companion for patients rather than a substitute for clinicians, even as it promotes broader ambitions around medical intelligence.
Development involved input from more than 230 physicians across 24 countries, and Microsoft says the system has received ISO/IEC 42001 certification for its governance of Artificial Intelligence. The company has emphasized privacy protections by keeping Copilot Health conversations and data separate from the general Copilot service. It says the information is protected with encryption, strict access controls and additional safety checks, and that user data is not used to train Artificial Intelligence models.
Microsoft says users can disconnect wearables, delete records or leave the service at any time. Copilot Health is launching first in English in the US for users aged 18 and over, with a waitlist now open. Microsoft also says it plans to expand the offering with more languages, voice options and wider market availability in the future.
