Microsoft has announced major AI upgrades to Dragon Copilot, its healthcare assistant, extending ambient and generative AI capabilities to nursing workflows and third-party partner integrations.
The update is designed to improve patient journeys, reduce administrative workloads and enhance efficiency across healthcare systems.
The new features allow partners to integrate their own AI applications directly into Dragon Copilot, helping clinicians access trusted information, automate documentation and streamline financial management without leaving their workflow.
Partnerships with Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Atropos Health, Canary Speech and others will provide real-time decision support, clinical insights and revenue cycle automation.
Microsoft is also introducing the first commercial ambient AI solution built for nurses, designed to reduce burnout and enhance care quality.
A technology that automatically records nurse-patient interactions and transforms them into editable documentation for electronic health records, saving time and supporting accuracy.
Nurses can also access medical content within the same interface and automate note-taking and summaries, allowing greater focus on patient care.
The company says these developments mark a new phase in its AI strategy for healthcare, strengthening its collaboration with providers and partners.
Microsoft aims to make clinical workflows more connected, reliable and human-centred, while supporting safe, evidence-based decision-making through its expanding ecosystem of AI tools.
