AI Data Cleaning for Biostatistics
Let your AI agent handle messy birth, death, and disease records—so you can focus on research, not spreadsheets.
You spend hours in Excel and Access, fixing inconsistent columns, hunting down missing values, and reformatting old health records. As a biostatistician, manual data prep eats into your analysis time and delays key findings. The repetitive cleanup makes large projects feel overwhelming.
An AI agent that extracts, cleans, and structures historical health records so biostatisticians can analyze trends without manual data wrangling.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In public health and epidemiology, biostatisticians often dig through decades of birth, death, and disease records exported from legacy databases like SAS or SPSS. Cleaning and restructuring these files for R or Stata means endless hours fixing dates, standardizing codes, and double-checking for duplicates. The manual work is tedious and error-prone, especially when juggling multiple data sources.

Agent skill set
What this agent knows how to do
Extract Data from Legacy Formats
Pulls structured fields from SAS, SPSS, and XML archives, outputting clean CSVs for R or Stata.
Standardize Health Codes
Maps ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to a unified format, ensuring consistency for downstream analysis.
Clean and Impute Missing Values
Detects gaps in demographic or clinical fields, applies imputation rules, and flags records needing review.
Identify Duplicates and Anomalies
Scans for repeated patient IDs, overlapping dates, or out-of-range values, generating a flagged report.
Format for Statistical Packages
Converts archival datasets into ready-to-import files for R, Stata, or Python pandas workflows.
AI Agent FAQ
You can upload SAS (XPT), SPSS (SAV), Excel, CSV, and XML files. For scanned images, run them through OCR first—then upload the resulting text or spreadsheet.
You can import data from Google Drive, Dropbox, or direct database exports. The agent outputs files compatible with R, Stata, and Python, so you can pick up analysis immediately.
All processing happens in-memory with TLS 1.3 encryption. No patient data is stored after the task completes, and PHI is never shared with third parties.
Yes, the agent automatically recognizes and standardizes both code sets, mapping them to your preferred format for analysis.
Currently, the agent supports English-language records. Support for Spanish and French datasets is planned for future updates.
