DAX Copilot vs HealOS
A health system that wants nurse and radiology documentation and a clinic that wants one vendor for scribe, phones and prior authorization are different buyers, and each has its own product here.
DAX Copilot has been a Microsoft product since the Nuance acquisition closed in March 2022. It covers physician, nurse and radiology workflows, and Microsoft's security white paper says the Azure environment is HITRUST CSF certified.
HealOS describes itself as a six-agent practice platform, with the scribe beside a phone receptionist, benefits verification, prior authorization, fax and referral handling, and billing. Its site lists Core at $49 per month, with unlimited sessions and a Chrome extension, and Plus at $99 per month, which adds appointment sync and note transfer to "select EHRs". Currency is not shown. Third-party profiles give a 2023 founding, funding between about $1.2M and $1.7M and a seed as the last round.
