Microsoft Unveils New AI Tools to Help Doctors Access and Analyze Health Data

Microsoft announced new AI tools on Tuesday to help doctors and hospitals access and analyze health data.

The tools are part of Microsoft's Fabric data platform and Azure AI services. They can combine data from disparate sources.

New offerings include a health chatbot, text analytics for medical documents, and models for patient timelines, report simplification, and radiology insights.

Microsoft has been testing Fabric with providers like Northwestern Medicine. The new Azure AI tools are available in preview now.

The goal is to help clinicians make informed decisions and improve patient experiences. Unused health data and complex reports are key issues the tools aim to address.
