Innovative Multimodal Models
Microsoft and partner foundation models are built from the ground up using vast de-identified medical datasets, and are ready for fine-tuning to address the unique challenges of healthcare and life sciences. These models are capable of processing and analyzing diverse types of medical data, including images, records, and genomic information, to provide comprehensive insights and support decision-making.
The versatility of our models allows them to be deployed in a range of scenarios. From enhancing image quality analysis to predicting patient outcomes and identifying potential treatment pathways, our models are designed to support healthcare professionals in delivering better patient care. In life sciences, these models may facilitate groundbreaking research and accelerate the development of new therapies and medical solutions.
Key activities include:
• Model Development: We develop first-party (1P) models and collaborate with third-party (3P) partners to expand our model catalog. This includes fine-tuning models for specific use cases and integrating them into clinical workflows.
• Platform Engineering: Our team works on creating production code within AI Foundry, including demo experiences and documentation, to ensure seamless integration and usability for our customers.
• Customer Engagement: We actively engage with healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions to understand their needs and tailor our solutions accordingly. This involves structured partner engagement and training sessions to promote our solutions.
How We Partner
The Healthcare AI Frontiers team collaborates with a diverse range of partners to drive innovation and adoption of our AI solutions. Our partnerships span across various sectors, including healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and technology developers.
Key partnership strategies include:
