HealthEx has announced a partnership with Microsoft to integrate personal health record capabilities into Copilot Health, Microsoft’s AI-driven health experience within Microsoft Copilot. The collaboration enables individuals to verify their identity and securely connect comprehensive health histories from multiple care settings, providing transparency and control over what information Copilot Health can access.
The initiative addresses persistent challenges in healthcare access and fragmentation. As demand for care continues to exceed physician availability, many individuals face difficulty navigating an increasingly complex and costly system. Copilot Health has been designed to support users with AI-powered tools that help them interpret their health information, act earlier, and engage more confidently with providers. HealthEx provides the infrastructure that connects verified digital identity, aggregated health records, and consent management to enable this functionality.
“As a physician, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is for people to get a comprehensive picture of their own health,” said Priyanka Agarwal, M.D., MBA, co-founder and CEO of HealthEx. “Records are scattered, visits are short, and too many people delay care because they don’t know where to start. Microsoft’s vision for Copilot Health meets people where they are and gives them tools to be more informed. HealthEx ensures that the Copilot Health experience is grounded in their comprehensive, up-to-date health history, always on their terms.”
“Copilot Health can bring together a person’s comprehensive health picture, including their medical records, wearables data, and more, and applies intelligence to help them understand what it all means and give them confidence as they take the next step,” said Peter Hames, VP Health, Microsoft AI. “Our collaboration with HealthEx helps ensure individuals bring their comprehensive health history to Copilot Health securely and on their own terms.”
HealthEx facilitates record retrieval through TEFCA individual access services spanning more than 12,000 organizations and 72,000 unique connections, alongside direct FHIR-based exchange with over 52,000 healthcare organizations. Users verify their identity using biometrics and government identification, then grant permission to access records across labs, medications, conditions, and clinical notes, with the ability to revoke access at any time.
Copilot Health is launching through a phased Trusted Tester Program ahead of broader U.S. availability for individuals aged 18 and over.
