Microsoft is introducing new capabilities in Microsoft Dragon Copilot at HIMSS 2026, extending its unified artificial intelligence clinical assistant with integrations to Microsoft 365 Copilot, partner apps from Microsoft Marketplace, and role-based experiences for physicians, nurses and radiologists.
The company said in a blog post that more than 100,000 clinicians rely on Dragon Copilot in daily practice, supporting care for millions of patients every month, and that the product is built on Microsoft Azure with enterprise-grade security, responsible AI, and cloud scale to enable broad deployment.
New features surface work-related information alongside patient data and let clinicians invoke intelligence across EHRs and applications; partner solutions from Canary Speech, Humata Health, Optum and Regard will be available through Microsoft Marketplace to extend capabilities across revenue cycle, clinical insights, prior authorization and decision support.
