Microsoft partners with Epic Systems to bring GPT-4 into healthcare

Microsoft is collaborating with electronic medical records provider Epic Systems to bring GPT-4, the latest version of OpenAI’s language models, into healthcare systems. The model will be offered on Microsoft’s cloud platform Azure, allowing the tech giant to increase its share of the healthcare cloud market. The first application for the model will be drafting responses to patient messages, and it is being tested by UC San Diego Health, UW Health, and Stanford Health Care. Another application will help hospitals find trends among their patient populations.

Meanwhile, Define Ventures has raised $460 million across two funds to invest in early-stage digital health startups.
