As healthcare organizations struggle to keep up with the high volume and increasing variety of data, organizing the data properly is challenging. By using generative AI, Microsoft will help with this.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) has introduced a series of new AI products aimed at helping health care organizations “focus on improving patient and physician experiences while delivering quality care more efficiently and at lower costs.” During the 2023 HLTH conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft revealed tools like Azure AI Health Bot – a new chatbot that can assist staff and patients with questions, and Text Analytics for Health – an Azure AI language service. With these solutions, healthcare organizations can benefit from the breadth and scale of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare. The new AI tools have been developed into Fabric—a comprehensive analytics platform for businesses launched by Microsoft in May.
As stated by Microsoft in its Press release,Healthcare organizations are struggling to keep up with the high volume and growing variety of data. The healthcare and life sciences industry is responsible for producing over 30% of all data generated globally. However, organizing the data properly is challenging, and as a result, approximately 97% of this information remains unused. With AI, structuring data will become much easier. And Microsoft will help in this.
Three new AI models are available in preview: Patient Timeline, Clinical Report Simplification, and Radiology Insights.
Patient Timeline employs generative AI to highlight key information in unstructured data and organize them chronologically, providing a more accurate view of a patient’s medical history for better treatment in the future.
Clinical Report Simplification, as its name suggests, simplifies medical language into clear terms for those who are not familiar with the complex jargon used by doctors.
Finally, the Radiology Insights model provides quality checks through feedback on errors and discrepancies.
The new data solutions are being tested in Fabric by Microsoft in collaboration with Northwestern Medicine, Arthur Health, and SingHealth. Fabric offers many opportunities, including the efficient combination of data from previously hidden sources across an organization, security of data, and better engagement with patients.
For example, Northwestern Medicine will leverage the healthcare data solution in Fabric to integrate clinical data across diverse sources, meet regulatory mandates for information exchange, and unlock insights with data and AI that deliver high quality, And will help in providing timely care.
Meanwhile, SingHealth will use Fabric’s healthcare data solution to power its existing data infrastructure.
Doug King, chief information officer at Northwestern Medicine, said:
“Data is king in health care now, and depends on everything from understanding what’s happening in the OR, how many patients are coming in? How many patients are leaving home or hospital? And then how do you get them in faster?”
Talking about other AI tools launched by Microsoft, Azure AI Health Bot and Text Analytics for Health, they are also innovative solutions that will enhance the general healthcare experience for both doctors and patients. Azure AI Health Bot provides state-of-the-art healthcare intelligence that can be customized. It uses the healthcare organization’s own content sources and employs generative AI to provide answers from trusted sources such as the National Institutes of Health and the US Food and Drug Administration.
Text analytics for health is a tool that can extract important medical information from unstructured data sources, it supports multiple languages.
