A partnership between Microsoft and healthcare giant Epic to harness artificial intelligence to help doctors
Microsoft and Epic are collaborating to develop AI technology for physicians, with the goal of simplifying administrative tasks in healthcare.
The AI system, built on Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service, will respond to medical inquiries and help translate doctors' notes into global medical codes.
Google remains competitive with its own medical chatbot called MedPaLM 2, which has shown significant growth and performance in the field of medical AI.
According to TheMessenger, Microsoft announced its cooperation with Epic, a leader in healthcare, and the goal of the partnership is to develop artificial intelligence technology to help healthcare workers, especially doctors. The collaboration seeks to simplify and enhance the documentation and management of patient data in the medical sector.
Epic runs about 35% of the electronic health record systems in US hospitals, and maintains more than 305 million patient health records. Entering drug orders and managing customer bills.
The partnership aims to reduce burdens through its innovative tools, and by using Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service, artificial intelligence will provide dialogic responses to health-related questions, and the goal of the technology is not only to save time, but to increase efficiency and accuracy in documenting patient data as well.
Microsoft said that technology promises to solve some of the biggest challenges we face, and there is no place more than health care that needs artificial intelligence services, and among the services it will implement is summarizing notes, because it will help doctors translate complex medical notes and lab reports into global medical codes , and this will pave the way for accurate digital billing.
Microsoft and Epic are not alone in the pursuit of AI in healthcare. Google promoted a healthcare chatbot known as MedPaLM 2 last year, which showed great performance in processing medical data and excelled in standardized medical exams with a success rate of 86.5%. Google is also running Pilot project at Mayo Clinic.
This huge partnership will open a new era in health care, by exploiting artificial intelligence to save the time and effort of doctors, in addition to Google, whose tool shows great performance in medical care and assisting doctors, and all of this will cause a major quantum leap in health care.
