Meet Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, Microsoft’s first industry-specific cloud solution

In 2017, Microsoft announced several new health care related initiatives and solutions to help health industry partners and organizations to use intelligent technology to improve the lives of people around the world. Microsoft’s Healthcare NExT initiative integrated research and health technology product development, and also established a new model at Microsoft for strategic health industry partnerships. In 2018, Microsoft announced a number of solutions, projects and AI accelerators. Even last year, Microsoft made great progress in the health care related business. Today, Microsoft is announcing Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, its first industry-specific cloud solution.
