About Microsoft Health & Life Sciences
Microsoft Health & Life Sciences (HLS) brings the Microsoft Cloud, AI and our partner ecosystem to the organizations that care for patients every day. We help health systems reduce clinician burden, improve patient experience and run more efficiently on Microsoft 365, Azure and Microsoft Fabric, working alongside the EHR platforms clinicians rely on.
The Opportunity
Clinical AI is moving fast, and the question for health systems is shifting from “which AI writes the best note?” to “which AI helps my entire care team work better together?” Microsoft Dragon Copilot answers it, unifying Dragon Medical One dictation, DAX Copilot ambient listening and Dragon Copilot for Nursing in one AI clinical assistant for physicians and nurses, integrated with EHRs such as Epic and extending across Microsoft 365, Azure, Fabric and our partners.
