Microsoft has unveiled its latest innovation, Dragon Copilot, at the HIMSS25 conference in Las Vegas. This unified copilot and voice assistant tool aims to streamline clinical documentation, surface information, and automate tasks for clinicians.
Dragon Copilot combines the speech capabilities of Dragon Medical One with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare’s ambient AI technology. The result is a seamless user experience that allows doctors to switch between dictation and ambient listening effortlessly.
The tool offers several benefits, including customizable templates, pre-defined copilot prompts, and the ability to add custom vocabularies. Clinicians can generate custom text in patient encounters, diagnoses, and after-visit summaries, as well as add exercise recommendations and surface recommendations from vetted resources without leaving the workflow.
Microsoft has also emphasized the importance of security and safety in its AI outputs, aligning with its responsible AI principles. The company will work with existing DAX clients to make upgrades available as soon as they become available.
The launch comes at a time when healthcare organizations are looking for ways to improve clinical documentation and streamline workflows. With Dragon Copilot, Microsoft is positioning itself as a leader in the field of healthcare innovation.
