Core Capabilities: Acting as a Personal "Health File Manager"

is not just a chatbot; it has strong data integration and analysis capabilities:

  • Seamless Import of Medical Records: Users can connect to over 50,000 hospitals and medical institutions in the U.S. through HealthEx, directly retrieving lab results, medical records, and prescription information.

  • Deep Integration with Wearable Devices: It supports more than 50 mainstream smart wearable devices, including Apple Watch, Oura, and Fitbit, synchronizing health metrics such as steps and heart rate in real time.

  • Smart Scheduling and Inquiry: The system can find suitable doctors based on the user's insurance plan, location, and language needs, and automatically remind users of upcoming appointments.

Professionalism and Security: Citing Authoritative Sources, Data Completely Isolated

To ensure the reliability of medical information, Microsoft has implemented multiple security measures:

  • Authoritative Endorsement: The AI’s responses prioritize information from authoritative institutions in 50 countries and include expert answer cards from Harvard Health Publishing, with all answers accompanied by original links.

  • Privacy "Firewall": Conversation records are completely isolated from regular Copilot. Microsoft explicitly states that these health data will not be used to train AI models.

  • Autonomy Control: Users can instantly disable data access permissions or delete all stored health records.

Role Positioning: An "Assistant," Not a "Doctor"

At the launch event, Microsoft emphasized that 's role is to assist users in understanding complex health data, not to replace professional doctors or provide any diagnosis or treatment advice.

Currently, this feature is being rolled out in stages. Interested users can join the waiting list to experience this AI assistant that can "read" your medical report. As AI technology becomes more accessible, healthcare management is accelerating from hospital clinics to users' mobile devices.
