Digital Health ID

The ePA alone, as a repository of all our health data, is a cause for concern for us. This is especially true when, despite the ePA app, it is impossible or at least quite difficult to discover its capabilities or work around its issues. Now Microsoft is jumping on this bandwagon and aims to link personal health data with digital identities through HealthEx. Microsoft’s Copilot AI is also intended to assist in this effort.

Microsoft’s news blog describes it this way: “Copilot Health brings your health records, wearable data, and health history together in one place and then uses intelligence to weave them into a coherent narrative. There, you’ll see how your poor sleep is linked to its underlying causes. There, you’ll stop Googling symptoms at night and start having more informed conversations.”

Any family doctor can tell you just how dangerous it can be to trust an AI’s “stories.” We’ll only gradually find out who has access to the data the app handles. What’s certain is that the Trump administration and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy are promoting the introduction of the government’s digital Health ID under the slogan “Make America Healthy Again.” Behind this initiative are Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI, Apple, and Google.
