I'm going to show you how we harmonize different platforms. I'd like to start by talking about AI. In America, they integrate Uber into their health care service; they have Uber driver pick their patients and bring them to the hospital. This is important, because patient won't miss their appointment anymore. Microsoft, in this context, plays a bigger role since we are now moving from providing health care services in hospital, to providing health care services in satellite care centre. Thus, the utilization of data is important in this context, and this is where Microsoft comes in.

 

We're offering to use 'cloud,' as it's one of Microsoft speciality. 5% of the Fortune 500 companies are actually on cloud. Health industry affects everybody, and here in Microsoft, we have link to all industry leaders. Cloud could help us in managing and combining data; if we are working with Google, coverage is not an issue. Therefore, Microsoft is now working with local regulators because it's really important to have their supports.

 

The next question is, how are we going to integrate all of this data? The answer is very simple. We are looking at integration and inter probability. Through our platform, we can devise an app that can be used in any electronic devices to access your data: be it in the government, hospitals, and even clinics. Through this app, we can limit the amount of people who can access the data. You can choose what kind of data that you want to show to the doctor; and it requires your permission. This is the way to go, i think, to a world where we are not only able to integrate the data, but also, to use the data to make sense of what we currently have.

 

Before I proceed with the conclusion, I'd like to show a video. This is a video about Microsoft, and how we employ people from different backgrounds - and technology is the one uniting us, the tool to overcome our barrier. This Microsoft employee is blind, and you'll see how technology helps. The reason why I'm showing you this is because technology makes life better. So let's embrace it use technology to solve health care problem that we have. Thank you.
