Hey Health Techies!

A couple weeks ago we zoomed out on the broader wave of fall product launches in health tech. This week, let’s zoom in — unpack specific launches, ask: what’s new, what’s real, and what’s in it for practitioners like you.

Microsoft Dragon Copilot 🐉

Dragon Copilot is an AI-powered clinical assistant built by Microsoft (under their Microsoft for Healthcare banner) that combines voice dictation, ambient listening, generative AI, and deep EHR integration.

Key capabilities:

  • Captures clinician-patient conversations (ambiently) and converts them into specialty-specific notes, orders, after-visit summaries, etc.

  • Provides natural language querying/editing of notes (e.g., “What was the last medication change?”) and multilingual support.

  • Integrates with major EHRs, scales across settings (inpatient, outpatient), and supports device/desktop/mobile.

The annoucement:

  • The team behind Dragon Copilot understands that that taking nurses and other clinical staff outside of their established is a tough sell

  • In an effort to speed innovation and work with existing clinician workflows, Microsoft is leveraging partnerships with key players like Elsevier, OpenEvidence, and UptoDate

  • The idea is avoid teams having to adopt multiple point solutions and instead be able to leverage Dragon Copilot to build custom solutions to keep teams right in their workflows rather than clicking around to use one tool for this and another for that

Launching partnerships may not be the most groundbreaking announcement of the fall, but I like this move and hope it becomes more of a trend. Point solution fatigue is a big problem for organizations trying to make purchase decisions for these products, and if companies can team up to give their users more of a complete experience without having to piece together a bunch of different tools, that’s a win. 🥇

Full press release can be found here.

Verily Me 📱

Verily (an arm of Alphabet Inc.) announced the launch of Verily Me, a free consumer-health app that pulls in medical record data and utilizes an AI companion “Violet”. I was lucky enough to be able to get a demo of the app during the HLTH conference last month, which was one of the first live demos of a new product like this I have ever received directly from the creators. I loved being able to ask questions and try things out firsthand.

Key features:

  • Clinician in the loop to verify patient data

  • “Violet” AI can answer queries like “when was my last flu shot?” or “who did my knee surgery?”

  • Meal photo tracking + real-time nutrition feedback

They are very much still treating this as a beta launch, hoping to collect feedback on this first release. The Chief Product Officer (CPO) even responded directly to a LinkedIn post that had mixed reviews about its ability to pull in a complete set of data (see below).

But it’s clear that they are out to solve a few very basic but super annoying pain points for patients (ie. scattered documentation, the need to log into multiple platforms to build a care timeline) and will only add to the functionality over time. Full press release available here.

💉TrumpRx

Back in September TrumpRx was announced with a goal to bring more pricing transparency with the promise even firmly stated on the site’s landing page “find your medications…for the lowest price”.

The full website won’t be live until early next year, at which point I’m excited to do a full breakdown, but in preparation for launch, a whole bunch of partnerships have been announced including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs.
