Labcorp launches AI-powered platform with AWS and Datavant to accelerate Alzheimer's research

Labcorp has launched an AI-powered real-world data platform to accelerate Alzheimer's disease research, developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Datavant. The platform aims to generate insights in minutes that previously required months of data analysis. The system combines Labcorp's diagnostic and genomic datasets with medical claims data, using AWS AI services including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker. It enables researchers to identify patient cohorts, track disease progression and measure treatment effectiveness across diverse populations using deidentified healthcare data. With over 7.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and annual care costs exceeding $380 billion in the US, the platform addresses traditional challenges of fragmented data and lengthy preparation times. Initial validation will complete in spring 2026, with plans to expand into inflammatory diseases, cardiometabolic conditions, women's health and oncology.
