Datavant and Savant Bio Partner to Deliver End-to-End Clinical Record Retrieval and Abstraction for High-Fidelity Real-World Data

Partnership unifies clinical record retrieval and LLM-powered abstraction into a seamless workflow for structured, analysis-ready data at scale.

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025 — Datavant, the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare, today announced expanded capabilities in medical record retrieval and clinical data abstraction through a partnership with Savant Bio. The integration combines Datavant’s industry-leading, privacy-first retrieval and linkage infrastructure with Savant’s automated, provenance-rich abstraction technology to create a unified, end-to-end path from raw clinical records to structured, analysis-ready data.

For life sciences and real-world evidence teams, a long-standing challenge has been the division between record retrieval and abstraction of clinical data—two essential steps often managed in separate workflows. This fragmentation slows timelines, increases operational burden, and makes it difficult to transform unstructured clinical records into complete, analysis-ready datasets at scale. Datavant and Savant address this through an integrated, retrieval-to-abstraction offering that generates structured, provenance-rich data that is backed by rigorous human-in-the-loop validation and domain-specific quality controls. 

Delivered through a single, privacy-preserving workflow, these coordinated capabilities streamline one of the most resource-intensive stages of evidence generation by producing high-fidelity datasets with greater auditability, efficiency, and reliability. This unified approach is already driving a wide range of initiatives across the life sciences industry, including building bespoke patient registries, supporting CRO-managed study operations, strengthening safety and outcomes studies, enriching existing datasets, and generating new therapeutic and commercial insights.

“For years, the life sciences industry has struggled to pair the deep clinical insights it relies on with the tools to make that data usable at scale,” said Sara Livengood, SVP of Life Sciences Product at Datavant. “With our expanded record retrieval capabilities, we’re advancing the industry beyond incremental improvements toward an end-to-end solution equipped to tackle the next generation of evidence-generation demands.”

“Our goal is to make unstructured clinical records usable at scale,” said Saksham Arora, Founding Engineer at Savant Bio. “Datavant’s retrieval network provides the breadth and completeness needed for high-quality abstraction. By combining our LLM-powered abstraction engine and quality-assurance framework with Datavant’s privacy-preserving infrastructure, we’re enabling life sciences organizations to access structured, verifiable data faster and with the rigor needed for real-world research.”

By unifying retrieval and abstraction in a single workflow, the partnership strengthens the infrastructure life sciences teams rely on — advancing the industry toward more efficient, reliable real-world evidence generation.
