# Microsoft for Healthcare: Technology and Collaboration for Better Experiences, Insights and Care

By [ThoughtWire](https://blog.thoughtwire.com/author/thoughtwire)11, Feb 2019

The healthcare industry’s leading minds are getting ready to educate, intrigue, and inspire attendees next week at the [HIMSS19 conference](https://www.himssconference.org/)—a leading healthcare IT event in the US. We expect to see many innovative ideas and solutions to the most prevalent and persistent challenges in modern health, and we are excited to show new technologies making a real difference in people’s lives and demonstrate Microsoft’s commitment to transforming how healthcare is experienced and delivered.

**Working with the experts**

Improving healthcare is not a singular or silver bullet effort. Microsoft’s ambition is not to be a healthcare provider, but to enable and empower those who are doing good things for people around the world. We see strategic alliances with leaders like Walgreens Boots Alliance, Allscripts, Hill-Rom, Novarad and others leading the way, with support from our thousands of technology partners. Here are a few examples:

- **[ThoughtWire](https://blog.thoughtwire.com/news/thoughtwire-microsoft-healthcare-partnership)**: ThoughtWire, is helping save lives with its EarlyWarning application, designed to preempt and prevent patients from suffering cardiac arrest in hospitals. This solution has already reduced code blue calls, which signals a risk of cardiac arrest, by 61 percent at Hamilton Health Sciences, a medical group of seven hospitals and a cancer center. ThoughtWire will deliver the EarlyWarning app, running on Microsoft Azure, to health systems at scale.
