Microsoft Takes Another Crack at Health Care, This Time With Cloud, AI and Chatbots New unit will partner with the industry, rather than compete Microsoft Corp. is trying again in health care, betting its prowess in cloud services and artificial-intelligence can help it expand in a market that's been notoriously hard for technology companies. A new initiative called Healthcare NExT will combine work from existing industry players and Microsoft's Research and AI units to help doctors reduce data entry tasks, triage sick patients more efficiently and ease outpatient care. "I want to bring our research capabilities and our hyper-scale cloud to bear so our partners can have huge success in the health-care world," said Peter Lee, a Microsoft Research vice president who heads Healthcare NExT. Microsoft's Israel office has taken the company's chatbot technology to create a "triage bot" for digital health provider MDLIVE. In a demo, a Microsoft researcher tells the bot her leg hurts. She connects the bot to her personal health account where it finds her prescriptions and confirms she's taking birth control pills. It pulls up a picture of a leg and asks her to click where it hurts. The bot notes recent exercise from the researcher's wearable device, while a scan of her calendar spots a recent airplane trip. The system calculates there's a good chance she has a blood clot in her leg, and connects her to a nurse. It can also suggest doctors and answer insurance questions. bloomberg.com
