Dive Brief:

Microsoft is expanding its artificial intelligence-backed clinical assistant to include functionality geared towards nurses, the technology giant said Thursday.

Dragon Copilot, Microsoft’s upgraded AI assistant tool launched this spring , will be able to record nurses’ interactions with patients and help document their care, as well as access medical content or health system protocols, the company said.

Microsoft collaborated with multiple health systems to build the update focused on nurses’ documentation workflow. “Physicians document very differently,” said Mary Varghese Presti, corporate vice president and chief operating officer at Microsoft Health and Life Sciences. “What we built here for nurses is not a rinse and repeat of that.”
