From improving clinical decision making to better managing the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to health and medicine are undeniable. 2021 is expected to be a year where health systems make unprecedented investments in AI to improve quality, reduce costs, and create more personalized experiences for patients and health consumers alike.

It is against this backdrop that KLAS Research recently named Microsoft as having the strongest perceived Healthcare AI offering among large, cross-industry players. In its report, Decision Insights—Healthcare AI, half of respondents who shared perceptions of Microsoft believe we have a strong healthcare AI offering.
