The global healthcare landscape is complex and challenging. The lack of workforce, burnout of one clinician, and lack of access to Essential Health Services2 are increasingly putting pressure on health systems across Europe and around the world. However, advances in AI offer great opportunities to help. In Europe, for example, hospital trusts have been able to migrate data to the cloud and employ AI to improve efficiency.
To maintain momentum around innovation, AI leaders, innovators, startups, researchers, scientists and policymakers gather at HLTH Europe 2025 to launch the latest AI use cases. Microsoft introduces our commitment to advancing AI for better health by focusing on accelerating life-saving breakthroughs, transforming the healthcare experience, and enabling global health equity. These areas are central to our mission to help everyone on Earth shape the future for living healthier lives.
Accelerating the life-saving breakthrough
Advances in AI play a pivotal role in accelerating life-saving breakthroughs and turning healthcare into a more accurate and efficient domain. Microsoft and Mayo Clinic are leveraging multimodal data imaging models for chest x-ray lines and tubes to advance the state of precision medicine while promoting disease detection innovation and treatment. Jonathan Carlson, Vice President and Managing Director of Microsoft Health Futures, and Dr. Matthew Callstrom, Vice President of the Department of Radiology at Mayo Clinic, will highlight the way integrated data, intelligence, and generator AI add value to clinician workflows and patient care.
Transforming the Healthcare Experience
At the heart of all clinical consultations is the human moment. However, in an age of increasing clinical demand, empathy risks becoming a victim of efficiency. A recent global study featuring insights from more than 13,500 patients in 10 European countries and Australia has revealed an expanding clinician-patient interaction, but more importantly, the opportunity to rebuild that connection with the help of AI.
Earlier this year we announced the Microsoft Dragon Copilot. This is a new groundbreaking AI solution that will change the way clinicians work. At HLTH Europe 2025, Joost Juiskens Dr., Chief Medical Information Officer at Microsoft DACH, Chief Medical Information Officer at Microsoft United Kingdom, and Chief Medical Information Officer at Microsoft Netherlands, workflow and enhance patient care across Europe.
Dragon Copilot represents a major advance in Scalable's AI-powered clinical productivity, and will be generally available in the European market later this year. Ambient AI is to reduce the burden of clinical documentation, management, and make healthcare more human-centric when implemented responsibly. Healthcare leaders should feel empowered to use AI to restore what is most important.
Responsibly enable global health equity
By demonstrating our unwavering commitment to enabling AI technology, we are committed to enabling global health equity through responsible innovation. By prioritizing health literacy, promoting trust, and coordinating with Microsoft's responsible AI practices, Microsoft tackles real-world challenges in healthcare. We focus on comprehensive and equitable solutions that help us ensure that advances in AI are accessible and impactful for all communities. Through our continued efforts to promote understanding and confidence in AI-driven healthcare, we are shaping a future in which transformative technology benefits patients, clinicians, and populations around the world.
The future of healthcare begins now
At Microsoft, we don't just imagine meaningful changes. That's what's happening. Through strategic collaboration, responsible innovation, and deep commitment to the human side of healthcare, we are realizing our AI mission to improve the health of all patients, providers and populations on the planet.
