Anthropic

Healthcare and life sciences organizations navigate some of the most complex, high-stakes work there is. We're introducing a broad set of new capabilities to help—including over a dozen new connectors and Agent Skills. For healthcare, Claude now connects to the CMS Coverage Database, ICD-10, NPI Registry and more, on HIPAA-ready infrastructure. For life sciences, our new connectors to Medidata Solutions, bioRxiv & medRxiv, and Open Targets (among others) join an existing ecosystem that includes Benchling, PubMed, and 10x Genomics. Organizations like Banner Health, AstraZeneca, Flatiron Health, and Genmab are already working with Claude. Read more, and join our livestream at 11:30 AM PT today: https://lnkd.in/dcXrebFq

We're partnering with Genmab, a leading biotechnology firm specializing in antibody therapeutics, to bring agentic AI to clinical development. Genmab is advancing multiple late-stage cancer therapies. Claude will help streamline operations and accelerate data analysis and write-ups, giving teams more time to focus on high-value scientific and strategic problems—and helping get therapies to patients faster.

In the healthcare and life sciences industries, organizations require AI models that are precise, reliable, and capable of deep contextual awareness. On January 12 at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET, we’re hosting a livestreamed event, The Briefing: Healthcare and Life Sciences, in which Anthropic’s senior executives will discuss how we’re meeting that need.  Tune in to hear how Anthropic sees the role of AI in healthcare and the life sciences, industry leaders' perspectives on their experiences with AI, and live demonstrations of Claude's healthcare and life sciences capabilities.

Child welfare social workers often spend half their time on administrative tasks. Binti, which serves agencies that support 47% of children in care across the US, integrated Claude to help ease that administrative burden. Claude takes meeting notes and automatically turns them into documentation for review. It answers questions about case files, and translates so families can fill out forms in their preferred language. Social workers using Binti have halved the time they spend on reports, allowing them to focus more on families, while agencies have reduced the time it takes to approve foster and adoptive families by 20%.

As part of our partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on the Genesis Mission, we're providing Claude to the full DOE ecosystem, along with a dedicated engineering team. This partnership aims to accelerate scientific discovery across energy, biosecurity, and fundamental research. https://lnkd.in/g_2DWsY3

People use AI for a wide variety of reasons, including emotional support. Below, we share the efforts we’ve taken to ensure that Claude handles these conversations both empathetically and honestly. https://lnkd.in/gHKwVc-5

You might remember Project Vend: an experiment where we (and our partners at Andon Labs) had Claude run a shop in our San Francisco office. When we left off, shopkeeper Claude (named “Claudius”) was losing money, having weird hallucinations, and giving away heavy discounts with minimal persuasion. Since then, things have improved. Mostly. In our blog post, we discuss what we’ve learned from Project Vend about AI agents working in the real world: https://lnkd.in/eRRaDvwv 

Shopify’s AI assistant Sidekick uses Claude to help change the way store owners do business.

AI agents have moved from experimental to an essential part of an organization’s tech stack. But how are enterprises actually using them? We partnered with research firm Material to survey over 500 technical leaders across industries and company sizes to find out. Here are the highlights: Where organizations are today: More than half (57%) now deploy agents for multi-stage workflows, with 16% running cross-functional processes that span multiple teams. Nearly 9 in 10 use AI to assist with coding, and 86% have moved agents into production code. Where they're headed: 81% plan to tackle more complex use cases in 2026. The highest-impact applications beyond coding include data analysis and report generation (60%) and internal process automation (48%). What's working: 80% of companies report AI agents are already delivering economic returns. In 2026, organizations expect efficiency gains to compound as they expand deployments and build institutional expertise. What's hard: Integration with existing systems (46%), data quality (42%), and change management (39%) are primary barriers. Organizations that address both the technical and human dimensions of implementation simultaneously see faster time-to-value. Perhaps most telling: 9 in 10 leaders say agents are freeing up employee time previously spent on routine execution and shifting it toward toward strategic work, relationship building, and skill development.
