Lab-AI is an interactive system that provides personalized normal ranges for lab test results based on patient-specific information such as age and gender. The system utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) from credible health sources, which consists of two modules: factor retrieval and normal range retrieval. In this study, the researchers tested Lab-AI on 68 lab tests with conditional factors and 38 without, achieving a high level of accuracy for both tasks. Specifically, GPT-4-turbo with RAG achieved an F1 score of 0.95 for factor retrieval and an accuracy rate of 0.993 for normal range retrieval. These results outperform non-RAG systems by a significant margin, highlighting Lab-AI’s potential to improve patient understanding of lab test results.

Lab-AI is a new system that helps doctors give patients the right information about their lab test results. Right now, most online portals just show universal normal ranges without considering things like age and gender. This can be confusing for patients. Lab-AI uses a special technology called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide personalized normal ranges based on patient-specific information. The system has two parts: one that finds the right factors and another that gives the range. In this study, researchers tested Lab-AI on 68 lab tests and found it was very accurate.
