What this adds

A new MicroHack in 03-Azure/01-04-AI/11_Healthcare_Regulatory_Intelligence: Regulatory Intelligence: From Notice to Action.

Participants keep a fictional UK life-sciences company, Caldova Health Services, on top of regulatory change for its one medicine, Caldivex (tablets and an injection pen). Everything happens in the browser: the Microsoft Foundry portal and Azure Cloud Shell. The stretch challenge uses GitHub Codespaces.

Challenge Capability Built with
1 Regulatory Web & Change Monitor Supplied Python tool in Cloud Shell, Azure Blob Storage, Foundry IQ
2 Document & Citation Agent Foundry prompt agent + Foundry IQ
3 Obligation & Impact Extractor Foundry prompt agent + Foundry IQ
4 Regulatory Q&A Assistant (answers and drafts) Foundry prompt agent + Foundry IQ
5 Executive Briefing + human sign-off Foundry prompt agent + code-enforced sign-off tool and audit trail
6 (stretch) Event-driven assistant Microsoft Agent Framework in Codespaces, run as supplied or written from a starter

Also included:

  • Coach walkthroughs with expected answers and troubleshooting taken from real test runs.
  • Lab automation following the template: infra/main.bicep, labautomation/deploy-lab.ps1, lab-defaults.json, and dev/run-local.ps1 to test it outside the platform.
  • A devcontainer and 48 offline tests. These cover the monitor, sign-off rules, the agent chain and content checks.

All regulators, payers, documents and dates are fictional training data stored in the lab.

Outside the lab folder

  • 03-Azure/01-04-AI/Readme.md: one line for the new hack.
  • .devcontainer/03-azure-01-04-ai-11-healthcare-regulatory-intelligence/devcontainer.json: Codespaces only reads configurations at the repository root. It points at the lab's own Dockerfile.

Verified

  • Participant run: the whole lab was run by a participant in the portal, challenge by challenge, with screenshots.
  • Clean run: a separate end-to-end run on a fresh deployment through the APIs, with each answer checked against the coach notes.
  • Platform script: deploy-lab.ps1 ran through dev/run-local.ps1 in resourcegroup mode. It produced all 10 dashboard values and the 12 role assignments in the lab automation README, followed by a monitor, knowledge base and agent smoke test.
  • Codespaces: builds on the custom image and the tests pass.
  • Region: the default is uksouth. In October 2026, swedencentral had no Azure AI Search capacity and westeurope refused new Storage and Search services. See labautomation/README.md.
  • Model settings: impact-agent and briefing-agent use reasoning effort medium. A comparison of reasoning effort and temperature settings is in the Challenge 3 coach notes.

Hi Marco Weber (@qxsch)!

This hack was requested by Joana and if you approve and merge it we can test it on the platform!

Thanks in advance!

/Digvijay

A one-day MicroHack in which participants keep a fictional life-sciences
company, Caldova Health Services, on top of regulatory change for its one
medicine, Caldivex.

- Challenge 1: a supplied Python monitor crawls fictional regulator and payer
  portals into a regulatory lake on Azure Blob Storage (de-duplication,
  versioning, paragraph citations, change events); Foundry IQ indexes it.
- Challenges 2-5: four Microsoft Foundry prompt agents grounded in the lake:
  Document & Citation, Obligation & Impact Extractor, Regulatory Q&A and
  Executive Briefing, with a code-enforced human sign-off and audit trail.
- Challenge 6 (stretch): an event-driven agent chain with the Microsoft Agent
  Framework in GitHub Codespaces, as supplied or written from a starter.
- Coach walkthroughs with expected answers and troubleshooting from test runs,
  lab automation (Bicep, deploy-lab.ps1, dev/run-local.ps1), a devcontainer
  and 48 offline tests.

Outside the lab folder: the hack's entry in 03-Azure/01-04-AI/Readme.md and
its Codespaces configuration under .devcontainer/.
