Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

A power event at a US datacenter caused a ~7.7-hour disruption to DAX/Dragon Copilot for Physicians and Nurses, during which standalone users could not access generated summaries through the UI, while dictation and recording remained functional. Embedded (Epic/EHR) customers experienced unavailable or intermittent sidecar/UI experiences, though summary delivery continued. Microsoft restored affected infrastructure and confirmed summary access through the UI before completing a failover revert, fully resolving the incident.

Microsoft has identified and is actively troubleshooting an issue affecting Dax/Dragon Copilot products within our US datacenter. More details will be provided when information is available.

Microsoft continues to actively address the issue impacting DAX/Dragon Copilot for Physicians and Nurses related to a backend service dependency in our US datacenter environment.

Current Status
We completed the failover to redundant service infrastructure, however our monitoring determined that the impact continued. Alongside this we confirmed that the power event impacting a datacenter supporting Dragon/DAX Copilot functionality has recovered and the impacted resources have been restored. As such, we are reverting the failover back to the previous known good configuration

Symptoms may include
• Dragon/DAX Copilot Standalone
o Users could continue to dictate and create recordings.
o Users could not access generated summaries through the UI.
o Recording/dictation and uploads are still expected to continue, and summaries would be available again once the service recovers.

• Embedded customers (Epic/EHR integrated):
o Summary delivery continued.
o Sidecar/UI experience may have been unavailable or intermittently impacted.
o Generated summaries were still expected to be delivered.

Ongoing Actions
Microsoft continues to closely monitor service health while completing recovery and validation activities. We remain focused on restoring all functionality and ensuring a stable customer experience.
We will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
