providing practitioners with research-backed insights rather than
just flagging abnormal values.
Visual Comparative Reporting
The system tracks changes over time, allowing clients to
understand their own baseline and optimal ranges rather than
comparing to population averages, which creates more
personalized and relevant insights.
Research Integration
LabSmarts continuously updates its analysis based on current
research, providing links to actual studies for practitioners who
want to dive deeper into specific conditions and how they present
in blood chemistry.
While OptimalDX focuses primarily on blood chemistry analysis with
an emphasis on generating comprehensive reports across body
systems, and LabDx specializes in consolidating multiple specialty
test types (DUTCH, GI-MAP, etc.) into a unified report, LabSmarts
differentiates itself by personalizing the interpretation to the
individual's unique physiological context.
This bioindividual approach addresses a significant limitation in
traditional functional medicine testing by recognizing that
"optimal" varies between individuals based on their specific
circumstances, potentially leading to more accurate and
personalized treatment recommendations.
Living Matrix
Comprehensive Functional Medicine Platform
Living Matrix is a technology-based functional medicine platform
designed to streamline patient evaluation, care planning, and
outcome tracking. It focuses more on comprehensive practice
management with lab interpretation as one component [8].
