ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Truven, a trusted leader in healthcare data and analytics, launched MarketScan Snapshot, an AI-powered capability that gives users a faster, more intuitive way to assess whether MarketScan real-world data will support their analytics needs. MarketScan Snapshot helps users rapidly explore patient populations and data availability within the MarketScan Research Databases, supporting faster feasibility assessment and more confident evidence planning.

MarketScan Snapshot is designed for teams that need quick clarity on whether the right data exist. Using AI-powered search, users run their own patient counts requests in everyday language, without the need to specify medical codes or have programming experience. Snapshot returns relevant patient counts and a comprehensive summary statistics dashboard enabling researchers to easily evaluate cohort size and determine whether a deeper MarketScan analysis is warranted.

MarketScan Snapshot helps accelerate early research decisions

"Today, the real-world evidence community can spend days or even weeks just getting to an initial answer on whether a cohort exists," said John E. Linnehan, vice president and head of real-world data for Truven. "With MarketScan Snapshot, they can explore that question in minutes using AI-powered, plain-language search. That means faster feasibility decisions, better use of analytic resources and faster time-to-evidence."

MarketScan Snapshot brings AI-powered accessibility to the industry's most published real-world data asset. Users can simply describe the populations, conditions, treatments or outcomes they want to explore, then receive an early view of patient counts and summary statistics in minutes. By lowering the technical barrier to MarketScan exploration, Snapshot helps teams move faster from idea to feasibility assessment and focus resources where they can have the greatest impact.

Built on the strength of MarketScan real-world data

MarketScan combines scale, completeness and longitudinal depth in the nation's longest running closed-claims data asset, with 300M+ cumulative lives, 95M active lives, 99% claims completeness, and data access dating back to 1995. Across commercial, Medicare and Medicaid populations, MarketScan captures healthcare utilization and actual paid costs across inpatient, outpatient and pharmacy settings to support stronger real-world evidence generation.

The MarketScan Partner Ecosystem extends that foundation by connecting MarketScan claims with clinical, laboratory and inpatient datasets, helping organizations attain precise, clinically informed evidence generation.

Snapshot reflects MarketScan's continued focus on making trusted real-world data more accessible and actionable. By combining MarketScan's longitudinal claims foundation with AI-powered exploration, anyone on the research team can now easily conduct database assessments, in minutes rather than days to weeks, freeing them to focus on deeper analysis.

Complimentary access to MarketScan Snapshot is available to qualified organizations evaluating the MarketScan Research Databases. Interested teams can request access through the MarketScan Snapshot webpage and will be contacted by a MarketScan team member to confirm eligibility.
