(4 Mar 2025) Wolters Kluwer Health is integrating its UpToDate solution with the healthcare agent service in Microsoft Copilot Studio. This integration aims to explore and validate the use of GenAI to provide clinicians with relevant and patient-specific evidence-based content from UpToDate® at the point of care. The Microsoft healthcare agent service is designed to empower healthcare technology developers to build and deploy generative AI-based healthcare agents.
Healthcare agent service in Microsoft Copilot Studio enables healthcare organizations to develop their own generative AI-powered agents, providing reusable healthcare-specific features, templates, pre-built healthcare intelligence from credible sources, extensibility via plugins and integration with customer-provided sources with healthcare-adapted safeguards.
When exploring these high-value use cases, both companies will prioritize a responsible approach to GenAI. The first joint project will focus on Microsoft’s first-party applications, notably Microsoft Dragon Copilot, to validate the integration of real-time GenAI content from UpToDate in supporting clinical decisions within ambient and voice-enabled clinical documentation workflows.
