Most results end in a question.
Yours can end in a decision.
Plainvue reads your whole blood test and explains it in plain language. Every value comes with a verdict you can actually understand, and when a guideline calls for a follow-up test, you can order it with one click.
7 of your 16 test results are normal. 9 of your results are worth looking into.
Nine results need a next step, which can be found in your action plan.

Where It Goes Wrong Today
You have been here before.
Patient Portal · 6:42 pm
New Results Available
4 values are abnormal.
| ALT | 64 H |
| Ferritin | 418 H |
| eGFR | 58 L |
| ApoB | 112 H |
Next appointment: 21 days
Your results arrive as a page of numbers with no explanation, and your next appointment is weeks away. So you do what more than 40 million people a day now do and ask ChatGPT. Some go further and upload their actual lab results into a general-purpose chatbot.
Most people cannot tell whether the answer is accurate, and 77% worry about the privacy of the medical information they just handed over. You come away more anxious than when you started, and you still do not know what to do.
Why a Chat Box Cannot Do This
One number never tells the whole story.
83% of abnormal results cannot be read in isolation. Across the 54 most-ordered tests, 45 of them depend on at least one other value to mean anything. A chatbot that reads one line at a time will get those wrong. The Plainvue interdependency engine, which is proprietary and patent-pending, reads your whole blood test together.
One high TSH can mean four different things.
An elevated TSH shows up in roughly 12% of US adults, and on its own it cannot be interpreted. The verdict changes depending on which value sits beside it.
Add a Companion Value
Each companion value points to a different conclusion, from treating today to simply watching it. Plainvue knows which one applies.
It does not stop at one blood test. Plainvue tracks how your picture changes over time, across organ systems and biologic age.
For Labs and Clinics
The follow-up a guideline already calls for actually happens.
The commercial argument is short. Additional testing that the standard of care calls for often does not happen, because patients have no idea it is needed. Plainvue shows them what is missing and why it matters, so they act on it, and the order routes back to the lab that ran the original blood test. You pay nothing for any of this. The patient pays a small fee for the interpretation at checkout, and we earn only when a recommended follow-up is actually ordered.
The Guardrail
We do not invent tests, we do not upsell blood tests, and nothing is ever pre-checked. A next step appears only where a published guideline calls for one.
The Result Explains Itself
Every value arrives with a plain-language explanation the moment it is released.
The Next Step Is Named
A next step appears only where a published guideline calls for one, and the guideline is shown beside it.
The Patient Can Order It from You
The second draw goes back to the lab that ran the first, not to whoever the patient searches next.

Your Results, 24 May 2026
Two things are worth acting on. Everything else is in range.
Tests That Would Explain the Calcium
Already on File
Albumin, creatinine and eGFR, drawn with this blood test.
Missing, and It Matters
PTH and a repeat calcium. Together these two identify the cause.
Only If the First Two Point There
Vitamin D and a 24-hour urine calcium.
Order Repeat & PTH
Ordered from Nordic Labs · nothing pre-checked
It Carries Your Brand
Your domain, your logo, your palette, and we appear once in the footer. Results reach us by HL7 or FHIR from your LIS, or as a flat file, with no change to how you release them. Plainvue is patient-facing only, so nothing appears in your workflow, and we own the integration and maintain it.
What You Get
Confusion is replaced by a clear next step.
Today your results are a page of red values and a three-week wait. With Plainvue the same results arrive already interpreted. Every value gets a plain-language verdict, the two or three findings that warrant attention are called out, and a next step appears where a guideline calls for one. You leave knowing what the blood test says and what to do about it.
Before
| ALT | 64 H |
| Ferritin | 418 H |
| eGFR | 58 L |
| ApoB | 112 H |

| Calcium | 11.2 H |
Six values flagged in red, with no explanation.
After

Your serum calcium is high.
Repeat with PTH in two to four weeks
Your iron stores are on the high side.
Recheck with transferrin saturation
Your kidneys are working normally for your age.

Who Stands Behind It
A physician built it, and we cite our sources.
Plainvue was founded by Jim Norman, MD, a physician and serial entrepreneur who previously founded Healthline and Talix, pioneered a minimally invasive parathyroid technique, and built and sold the world’s highest-volume endocrine-surgery practice.
After decades of watching patients leave with results they could not read, we built the tool those patients needed. Every interpretation is grounded in published literature and traceable to its source.
