# Review Your Lab Results Over Time with AI

Connect available records through Flexpa and ask your AI assistant to organize lab results by date, explain test names, and draft questions for your clinician. Review the output against the original reports. Results from different labs may use different methods, units, and reference ranges, so ask your clinician which comparisons are meaningful.

How it works: Add Flexpa -> Authorize records -> Review labs -> Ask your clinician. Flexpa makes retrieved records available to an authorized assistant. Portal sign-in and exchange identity verification are different connection routes.

## What to ask your assistant

- List available results with dates, units, and the reporting lab's reference ranges.
- Identify missing reports rather than filling in gaps.
- Draft questions to bring to your doctor.

## Review results with your clinician

An AI summary is not a diagnosis. Talk to your clinician about what a result means for you. MedlinePlus advises using the same lab when following trends because lab methods and reference ranges can differ.

## What you can ask

- List available cholesterol results by date, including units and reference ranges
- Explain the test names in my most recent available report
- What questions should I ask my doctor about these results?

## Questions

**Can AI help me understand my lab results?** An assistant authorized through Flexpa can retrieve available lab results. Ask it to explain test names and draft questions, then check the output against your reports. Your clinician should interpret what the results mean for you.

**Can I see results from different hospitals together?** Flexpa can retrieve available lab records from connected patient portals and participating exchange facilities. The results may be incomplete, and values from different labs are not automatically comparable.

**Does Flexpa retrieve every historical lab result?** Flexpa retrieves the records connected sources make available. Its assistant lab tool returns recent results first and has a result limit, so ask which dates and reports were actually retrieved before treating a summary as a full history.

**Is it free?** Flexpa is free for patients.
