Microsoft Launches Copilot Health to Unify Medical Records and Wearable Data

A New Home for Your Health Data

Microsoft has launched Copilot Health, a dedicated space within its Copilot AI assistant designed to pull together a user's scattered health information into one secure, intelligent hub. The service connects to electronic health records from more than fifty thousand hospitals and provider organisations across the United States through a platform called HealthEx, and integrates data from over fifty types of wearable devices, including Apple Health, Oura, and Fitbit.

How It Works

Once connected, Copilot Health analyses the combined data to surface personalised insights. It can link disrupted sleep patterns to possible underlying causes, translate lab results and symptoms into plain language explanations, and help users prepare relevant questions ahead of doctor visits. Lab test results can also be imported through a service called Function, adding another layer of health intelligence.

The tool connects to real-time provider directories in the United States, allowing users to search for clinicians by specialty, location, spoken languages, and insurance coverage. Microsoft has been clear that Copilot Health is not designed to diagnose or treat conditions, positioning it instead as a way to make time with a doctor more productive.

Privacy First

Health conversations within Copilot Health are isolated from general Copilot interactions and protected with encryption at rest and in transit. Microsoft says it will not use Copilot Health data to train its AI models. The service has obtained ISO/IEC 42001 certification and was developed with input from more than two hundred and thirty physicians across twenty-four countries.

The Bigger Picture

The launch places Microsoft in direct competition with OpenAI's ChatGPT Health and Anthropic's Claude for Healthcare, both introduced earlier in twenty twenty-six. Microsoft says its consumer AI products already handle more than fifty million health-related questions per day, suggesting significant existing demand. The company describes the launch as a step toward what it calls medical superintelligence. Copilot Health is currently available via waitlist in the United States, with expanded language support and additional regions to follow.
