Labcorp has unveiled Test Finder, a novel generative artificial intelligence tool designed to significantly simplify how healthcare providers search for and select laboratory tests. Built in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Test Finder allows clinicians to ask questions or describe patient conditions in plain language, returning curated, clinically relevant test recommendations that go beyond the capabilities of traditional search functions. This innovation aims to enhance the user experience and reduce administrative time spent on test ordering, freeing providers to focus more directly on patient care.
The impact of laboratory testing in healthcare is substantial, influencing approximately 70% of clinical decisions and serving as a crucial first step for diagnosing and managing a wide range of patient conditions. Despite this core role, providers are burdened with administrative tasks that research shows can exceed three hours each day, including documentation and test ordering. According to American Medical Association data cited by Labcorp, 57% of physicians see automation of such administrative responsibilities as the most promising application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Test Finder addresses these needs by offering rapid, accurate test guidance across thousands of options spanning key therapeutic areas such as oncology, women’s health, neurology, and autoimmune disease.
Leveraging AWS´ Amazon Bedrock and large language model technologies, Test Finder delivers HIPAA-compliant, secure access to diagnostic information and is accessible 24/7 on Labcorp.com. Labcorp leaders highlight that the tool not only optimizes clinical workflows and reduces friction but also sets a new industry standard for responsible artificial intelligence in healthcare. The company sees this launch as foundational for developing more connected and scalable digital healthcare solutions in the future. Labcorp, which performs over 700 million tests annually in nearly 100 countries, anticipates further updates and enhancements to Test Finder in the near term.
