Microsoft and Epic Systems are taking the healthcare sector by storm, joining forces to integrate GPT-4 into the sector. The language model behind ChatGPT will aid medical staff with challenging, time-consuming tasks, freeing up time and allowing organizations optimize patient care and budgeting.
One of the tools garnered by the collaboration will be a message generator, which will draft timely responses to minimize administration time. Additionally, GPT-4 will refine the natural language query tool for medical experts working with Epic’s self-service reporting tool, SliderDicer.
Eric Boyd, Corporate VP for AI Platform at Microsoft, expresses Microsoft’s determination to tackle the challenges that healthcare systems face, as well as its faith in responsible AI given their long-term alliance with Epic.
This news follows Google’s announcement of their own AI-powered medical imaging platform last year. Given the backdrop of healthcare organizations facing negative financial outcomes in 2022, these technological advancements are more than welcome.
Microsoft is a leading technology company known for its innovative products and services, such as Windows and Office. Since 1975 they have played an integral role in the tech world, allowing people to make the most out of their devices with great software.
Eric Boyd is a Corporate VP with Microsoft since 2019. With a Bachelors in Data Science and a Masters in Computer Engineering, he has developed a wealth of knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence, launching several projects since his work at Microsoft.
GPT-4’s entry into the healthcare sector is a promising development, and one of the many ways in which technology is revolutionizing an essential service. Microsoft is set to make a powerful impression in the sector, inching closer to a better and more financially secure future for healthcare organizations.
