How to Launch Microsoft AI Agents for Healthcare and Create Your Own Language Model?

The healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and Healthcare AI agents are at the forefront of this change. From managing appointments to providing patient support, these AI-driven agents streamline operations, enhance patient care, and reduce human workload. Leveraging AI agents for healthcare can enable pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers to achieve workflow automation in healthcare, enhancing overall efficiency.

One of the leading platforms for deploying these AI agents is Microsoft’s robust AI ecosystem. With advanced tools and solutions, Microsoft’s platform makes it easier for healthcare providers and healthcare organizations to integrate AI agents into their operations. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to launching Microsoft Healthcare agent service, offering a comprehensive walkthrough for healthcare professionals, IT administrators, and AI developers.

To deploy AI Agents for Healthcare, You’ll Need to Set Up your Microsoft Environment. Here’s How To Do It

1. Access Microsoft Azure:

• Log in to the Microsoft Azure portal.

• If you don’t have an account, create one to access Azure services.

2. After this you can search on the search bar directly like the "Healthcare Agent Service".

3. Create a Resource Group:

• Organize your resources by creating a resource group to manage AI agents, data, and workflows.
• Grouping resources together allows for better tracking, access control, and cost management.

4. After creating a resource group we can create Healthcare agent service. After this you can search on the search bar directly like the "Healthcare Agent Service".

5. We need to create the resource for the service.There are three main steps for that:

I. Basics
II. Tags
III. Review + create

6. Tags will allow you to specify the particular resources. This is especially for any resource that you are going to deploy in the Azure portal.

7. Review and create is for the final validation of whatever the details you have entered to create the resources for healthcare agent service.

8. After completing the deployment, you can go to the resource

9. Here you can see your AI medical agent resource of healthcare agent service.

10. After this, copy the management portal url and paste it on another tab.

11. Here you can see your AI medical agents in which you can work on numerous functions like manage, Configuration, Integration and so on.

How to Create Your Own Conversational Language Model?

It leverages cutting-edge language models to grasp the intent behind user utterances while recognizing word variations, synonyms, and even misspellings. With multilingual support, it streamlines the orchestration of bots powered by Conversational Language Understanding, and Question Answering.

To create a Conversational Language Understanding model, you’ll need a Cognitive Service for Language account along with the connection details for your Conversational Language Understanding endpoint.

How to Create Your First Conversational Language Understanding Project

1. Sign In to Language Studio: Log in using your Azure credentials.

2. Access Conversational Language Understanding: Navigate to the "Understand Questions and Conversational Language" tab and select Open Conversational Language Understanding.

3. Create a New Project: Click Create New Project and fill in the required details, including the project name, primary utterance language (with the option to enable additional languages), and an optional description.

4. The Conversational Language Understanding project operates using Intents and Entities. To create a new intent for scheduling appointments, click on Add, provide a name for the intent, such as MakeAppointment, and then select Add Intent to finalize the creation.

5. Click on the name of the newly created intent, go to the Select Intent dropdown, choose your intent (in this case, MakeAppointment), and provide an example utterance, such as "I want to make a late evening appointment." Finally, press Enter to save it.

6. Include at least 15 sentences to create a solid foundational model. Here are a few example sentences you can use:

7. To begin adding entities, click on Add Entity located on the right side. Assign a name, such as AppointmentType, and select Add Entity. Next, identify the appointment types within each sentence and associate them with your entity.

8. For each sentence, choose the appropriate appointment type and click Save changes.

To further refine the model, you can navigate to Testing Set at the top of the page and create a test batch. However, this tutorial will not cover that step.

9. Train Your Model
   The next step involves initiating a training job. On the left panel, select Training jobs and proceed to Start a training job. Assign a name to your model, such as "AppointmentModel." Keep the default settings for Standard training (free) and Data splitting, then click the Train button to begin.

10. Wait for the training process to finish, and then proceed to the Deploying a Model section.
    
11. Deploy Your Model
    To make the model accessible for the healthcare agent service, you need to create a new deployment. Click on Add Deployment, provide a deployment name (e.g., "AzureHealthBotDeployment"), select your trained model, and click Deploy to complete the process.

12. Once the model is deployed, click on the newly created deployment and select Get Prediction URL. This information can now be used to integrate with your healthcare agent service.

Access Your Healthcare Agent Service

1. Navigate to Language -> Models ->

2. Add New Language Model

I. Under Method, select Conversational Language Understanding.
II. Copy all the prediction URL parameters, including:

• Method: Conversational Language Understanding
• Endpoint: The endpoint of your instance
• Subscription: Your subscription key
• Project Name: The name of your Question Answer project
• Deployment Name: The name of your deployment
• API Version: The API version of your deployment.
