Understand Lab Results Faster: AI Medical Report Explanation (2026 Guide)
Lab results are stressful for one reason: you can’t tell what matters. Abbreviations, numbers, reference ranges, arrows—then you Google it and panic.
This workflow is not about self-diagnosis. It’s about turning the report into:
- an abnormal-items list
- plain-English explanations
- better questions for your doctor
5-step workflow (Eyesme example)
Step 1: Extract abnormal items + reference ranges
Ask for a table:
- marker
- result
- reference range
- high/low flag
Step 2: Explain each marker in plain English
Ask:
- what it typically indicates
- common benign causes
- what would be concerning
Step 3: Generate a doctor question list
Ask for 5–10 questions, e.g.:
- do I need a retest? when and how to prep?
- what additional tests confirm the cause?
- which symptoms should I monitor?
Step 4: Compare trends (this year vs last year)
Ask:
- what improved/worsened
- what is consistently abnormal
Step 5: Save a health note
Template:
- date
- abnormal list
- follow-up plan
- doctor questions
Bottom line
Use AI as a translator and note-taker—not a doctor.
