James Davis, chairman, CEO, and president of Quest Diagnostics, has discussed the company's use of artificial intelligence in healthcare and its growth areas in recent interviews. In August 2026, he appeared on Fox Business to describe how Quest provides patients with lab results through a secure app and an AI application that helps interpret results, which he said allows patients to have more informed discussions with their doctors. He also noted that the company uses proprietary AI models that do not leave Quest's systems. In an April 2026 appearance at a Semafor event, he addressed data privacy, stating that test results are provided only to patients and physicians, with certain infectious disease results reported to public health authorities as required by law. Davis has also highlighted consumer health testing and chronic disease management as key drivers for the company. In a February 2026 Bloomberg interview, he said that about two-thirds of Quest's business involves diagnosing and monitoring disease, while one-third is prevention and wellness, and he expressed a hope to flip that ratio over the next decade. He cited partnerships with companies like Function Health, Whoop, and Aura, and noted that the consumer health segment grew over 30% in the prior year. He also said cancer testing accounts for about $1 billion of Quest's $11 billion portfolio, and discussed the company's offerings in blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and minimal residual disease testing for cancer. In an earlier 2023 podcast, Davis discussed the role of automation and AI in laboratories, noting that Quest processes hundreds of thousands of specimens nightly and that automation can improve quality and address labor shortages.
