Summary
Microsoft has launched Dragon Copilot, a voice-activated AI assistant aimed at reducing administrative tasks for healthcare providers. This tool enhances the existing Dragon Medical One dictation system and DAX Copilot’s ambient listening capabilities by allowing clinicians to quickly obtain medical information and generate clinical documentation like notes and referrals. The introduction of Dragon Copilot is part of Microsoft's strategy following its acquisition of Nuance Communications in 2021, positioning the company competitively in the AI scribing market, alongside other players such as Abridge and Suki. With compatibility across mobile, browser, and desktop platforms, Dragon Copilot integrates effectively with electronic health records, enabling clinicians to utilize natural language for drafting notes and retrieving patient information efficiently.
