Ann Arbor – September 29, 2026 -- Truven has launched MarketScan Snapshot, an AI-powered search capability that compresses what the company says can be days or weeks of cohort feasibility research into a process taking minutes.
Snapshot lets researchers query 300 million cumulative patient lives in plain language
The tool allows users to run patient-count requests against MarketScan Research Databases using everyday language, eliminating the need to specify medical codes or possess programming skills. MarketScan's underlying dataset includes more than 300 million cumulative lives, 95 million active lives, 99% claims completeness, and data access dating back to 1995 across commercial, Medicare and Medicaid populations.

Snapshot returns relevant patient counts alongside a summary statistics dashboard, letting researchers evaluate cohort size and decide whether a full MarketScan analysis is warranted. The database tracks inpatient, outpatient and pharmacy utilization along with actual paid costs, and offers an average of 4.25 years of patient follow-up drawn from employer-sourced data.
