Microsoft and Mayo Clinic launch joint health‑AI model as AI tools expand in clinics worldwide

Microsoft and the U.S. nonprofit Mayo Clinic announced a partnership to develop a new artificial‑intelligence model specifically for health care. The model will combine Mayo’s clinical knowledge and anonymised patient data with Microsoft’s cloud and AI engineering, and will be deployed first within Mayo’s own facilities before being offered through Azure Foundry APIs.

In Venezuela, the private clinic FenixSalud has introduced “FenixMedical IA”, a digital medical scribe that assists physicians and reportedly reaches an accuracy of 98‑99 %. The clinic says the tool frees doctors to focus on patients while automating documentation.

Spain’s Galicia region created a mixed research unit funded with nearly €2 million to design and clinically validate health‑AI tools, aiming to place the region at the forefront of AI‑enabled medicine.

The Valencian health authority is preparing to roll out the “Escriba Digital” system, an AI‑driven transcription service that will automatically record doctor‑patient conversations for electronic health records.

Mexico’s Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) is integrating AI into its massive digital health record platform and plans to launch an assistant virtual that will help clinicians sift through millions of notes.

Together, these initiatives illustrate a global push to embed AI into clinical workflows, improve diagnostic support and reduce administrative burden.
