Microsoft Unveils Dragon Copilot, an AI Assistant to Reduce Healthcare Documentation Burden

The AI-powered tool integrates voice dictation and ambient listening to streamline clinical workflows and enhance patient care.

Dragon Copilot combines Nuance's Dragon Medical One and DAX Copilot technologies with generative AI to automate clinical documentation tasks such as note-taking, referral letters, and post-visit summaries.
The tool aims to address clinician burnout, which remains high due to administrative workloads, and improve patient experiences by allowing doctors to focus more on care delivery.
Key features include multi-language support, natural language dictation, personalized formatting, and the ability to surface trusted medical information and automate tasks like conversational orders.
The AI assistant is built with healthcare-specific safeguards for data security and compliance, leveraging a secure data estate to ensure patient privacy and regulatory adherence.
Dragon Copilot will be available in the U.S. and Canada starting in May, with planned expansions to the U.K., Germany, France, and the Netherlands in the coming months.
