Today in the UK, I saw how the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust is using Copilot to cut down on administrative work and make better use of its data, and ultimately provide a better experience for medical personnel and patients. It's an early example of what's possible as NHS England expands Copilot to as many as 500,000 clinicians and support staff across the country. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gj8h5e4Z

Looking back at my last session in London as I prepare for the Microsoft Frontier Tour tomorrow. It was my first tour stop of 2026, and a lot has changed since February. Regulations are evolving. Expectations around digital sovereignty are growing. And questions about data governance are moving fast. Public sector agentic adoption ranges from just trying Copilots to scaling advanced systems. What hasn’t changed is that intelligence and trust must advance together. I'll be in London on October 21 to discuss the future of government and healthcare with Ann Hepworth from Barts Health NHS Trust and Zakki Ghauri from City of London Corporation.

Women have spent decades adapting to healthcare systems that weren't designed with them in mind. Changing that means looking beyond symptoms to underlying biology. Microsoft’s ambition is to help accelerate scientific discovery and give researchers new ways to uncover insights that may one day contribute to lifesaving breakthroughs. At Microsoft, we support startups pioneering new approaches to women’s health research. Dr. Stasa Stankovic and OvartiX are combining human genetics, cell engineering and AI-driven analysis to better understand conditions that affect women uniquely or differently, identify previously overlooked disease biology, and uncover new opportunities for first-in-class, disease-modifying therapeutics. See how Microsoft is helping accelerate scientific discovery and expand what’s possible across healthcare in this blog: https://msft.it/6046avqZY

Some of the most meaningful innovation in healthcare starts behind the scenes, with the trusted data foundation that gives clinicians better access to information, enables new insights, and gives them more time to focus on what matters most: their patients. That’s why I’m so excited about what UMass Memorial Health, Microsoft and Accenture are building together. Like many health systems, UMass Memorial Health has an opportunity to better connect clinical, operational and research data. This multi-year initiative will bring those data sources together on Microsoft Azure, creating a unified data platform designed to improve access to insights while strengthening security, governance and collaboration across care and research. But what makes this especially exciting is what that foundation makes possible next. With connected, secure data in Azure, UMass Memorial is creating the foundation to responsibly apply AI at scale. As part of the initiative, Accenture will introduce agentic AI tools designed to automate complex workflows and uncover insights that previously required significant manual effort. This is where I believe there is an enormous opportunity for health systems. AI transformation doesn’t simply start with AI. It starts with trusted data, strong security and governance, and a cloud foundation that allows AI and agents to create real value. In healthcare, that can mean faster access to insights, less administrative burden for caregivers, stronger connections between care and research, and ultimately more time focused on patients. I loved how Eric Dickson, MD described the vision: building a stronger foundation for how UMass Memorial delivers care today and into the future. And Mike Weissel captured something I believe deeply: better access to insights creates an opportunity to deliver better care. Congratulations to the incredible teams across UMass Memorial Health, Accenture and Microsoft bringing this vision to life. I’m proud Microsoft gets to be part of the journey, and excited to see how this foundation enables the next generation of data, AI and agentic innovation across healthcare.

Better healthcare intelligence starts with better-connected data, bringing knowledge to the point of decision. Intelligence creates the most value inside core workflows, and UMass Memorial Health is partnering with Microsoft and Accenture to build a trusted data foundation that unlocks it. By bringing clinical, operational, and research data together through a secure, unified data platform, UMass can give clinicians faster access to insights, strengthen collaboration across care and research, enable responsible AI at scale, and ultimately save lives. This initiative opens the door to the next generation of healthcare innovation, and we're proud to be on the journey together: https://aka.ms/UMassDataAI
What changes when healthcare data stops living in silos? UMass Memorial Health is working with Accenture and Microsoft to bring clinical, operational and research data together through a unified data platform built on Microsoft Azure. The multi-year initiative will replace siloed reporting systems, enable more advanced analytics and establish a secure foundation for AI-powered innovation, with opportunities to help caregivers access insights faster, reduce administrative burden and advance quality and safety goals. Connected data. A trusted cloud foundation. More possibilities for healthcare innovation: https://msft.it/6047atyxB
We have an opportunity to build healthcare that works better for everyone. When women are missing from health data, their needs can be missed in care. Microsoft’s Rosie Mastrandrea makes the case for datasets that better reflect women’s health. That starts with identifying gaps in how women are represented in the data. Addressing those gaps matters as healthcare organizations use AI to inform research and care. Read the [w]Health Tech Manifesto, developed by Kearney and Microsoft, to explore how more inclusive data and technology can help close the women’s health gap: https://msft.it/6046asWqm

When AI helps simplify complex processes, pharmaceutical manufacturers can spend less time on manual work and move faster. Körber is using Microsoft Azure to help digitize production recipes and build a foundation for trusted AI. In pilot implementations, customers reported ~30% faster recipe digitalization cycle times and up to 40% less manual work. Take a closer look at Körber’s approach: https://msft.it/6044aWXE4

Agentic AI is changing the economics of business transformation. Agents can now reshape the workflows that define industry value, connecting people, data, and systems to create greater impact in new ways. Leaders should view AI as an investment portfolio, measuring returns through real outcomes such as improvements in citizen services, care coordination, and production-line efficiency. The lasting differentiator won't be the newest model. Organizations need to turn proprietary knowledge into a strategic asset and use AI to put it to work. My latest article explores a new investment lens for agentic AI across industries. Where could agents create the most value alongside your people?
