What they did
He downloaded several blood test reports, with different formats each year, attached them to a single prompt along with his age and sex, and asked for a browser tool that would show results over time and highlight values outside the reference range.
How it went
With little tweaking, Claude produced an app that plots the results and flags the abnormal ones.
Good to know
It's for understanding your data and bringing questions to your doctor, not for self-diagnosis.
The prompt
I've attached [number] blood test reports from [years]. Extract each test, value, unit and reference range into a single table by date. Highlight anything outside the range and list questions for me to take to my doctor.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Case found via agentusecases.ai (Alex Finn); text and prompt rewritten by us. Found a mistake?
