How We Calculate Your Health Score: The Science Behind Elabus
How We Calculate Your Health Score
Your health score is a comprehensive assessment of your overall wellness based on your lab results. Unlike simple "normal vs abnormal" checks, our AI analyzes multiple factors to give you a nuanced understanding of your health.
The Four Pillars of Your Score
1. Biomarker Status We evaluate each biomarker against optimal ranges, not just reference ranges. Being "normal" isn't the same as being "optimal."
2. Trend Analysis Are your numbers improving or declining? We track changes over time to identify concerning trends early.
3. Biomarker Interactions Some biomarkers affect each other. Low vitamin D might impact your calcium absorption, for example.
4. Age & Sex Adjustments Reference ranges vary by age and biological sex. We ensure comparisons are appropriate for you.
How Scores Are Weighted
Critical markers like glucose and kidney function carry more weight than optional wellness markers. The algorithm considers:
- Clinical significance of each biomarker
- Deviation from optimal (not just normal)
- Rate of change from previous tests
- Pattern recognition across related markers
What Your Score Means
- 90-100: Excellent - All markers optimal
- 75-89: Good - Minor areas for improvement
- 60-74: Fair - Several areas need attention
- Below 60: Needs Work - Consult with healthcare provider
Improving Your Score
Focus on lifestyle factors: nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management. Our AI generates personalized recommendations based on your specific biomarker patterns.

Reading is useful. Bringing a clearer story is better. E-Labus helps patients organize the actual report, understand what changed, and walk in with sharper questions than generic AI summaries can give.
