Acquiring insights from electronic health records (EHRs) is slowed by manual analytical workflows that limit scalability and reproducibility. We present LATCH (LLM-Assisted Testing of Clinical Hypotheses), an agentic framework that converts natural language clinical hypotheses into fully auditable analyses on structured EHR data. LATCH integrates LLM-assisted semantic layers with deterministic execution pipelines to automate cohort construction, statistical analysis, and result reporting, while ...
