Beyond standard blood work, getbased handles specialty lab tests. Drop the PDF on the dashboard the same way you would any other report — the AI identifies the test type automatically and routes markers to the correct categories with your lab’s stated reference ranges.Documentation Index

Supported test types
Four test types have dedicated built-in marker definitions. Every other specialty lab report goes through the generic custom marker pipeline, where the AI extracts marker names, units, and reference ranges directly from the PDF.| Test type | Examples | Built-in markers |
|---|---|---|
| DEXA scan | Hologic, GE Lunar Prodigy | 17 markers across 2 categories |
| Metabolomix+ | Genova Metabolomix+ combo profiles | 165 markers across 10 categories |
| Fatty acids | Spadia, ZinZino BalanceTest, OmegaQuant | 29 reference markers |
| BioStarks | Dried blood spot panels (AMR Labs SA) | 23 markers across 5 categories |
How auto-detection works
Drop your PDF
Drag the file onto the dashboard or use the import button. No special configuration is needed for specialty labs.
AI identifies the test type
The AI reads the report and detects whether it is blood work, a DEXA scan, an OAT panel, a DUTCH report, or another type.
Markers are mapped to specialty categories
Specialty results are placed in test-type-specific categories to keep them separate from standard blood markers. These categories appear as collapsible sidebar sections labeled by test type.
Reference ranges come from your PDF
Unlike standard blood markers that use built-in reference ranges, specialty markers use the ranges printed on your specific report.
DEXA scans
DEXA results appear under a collapsible DEXA sidebar group with two categories. Body Composition (8 markers)| Marker | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Body Fat | % | Sex-specific reference and optimal ranges |
| Lean Mass | kg | Trend tracking only (no universal reference) |
| Fat Mass | kg | Trend tracking only |
| BMI (DEXA) | kg/m² | WHO classification (18.5–24.9) |
| Android Fat | % | Abdominal region |
| Gynoid Fat | % | Hip/thigh region |
| A/G Fat Ratio | ratio | Above 1.0 = higher cardiometabolic risk |
| Visceral Fat Area | cm² | Below 100 cm² = normal |
| Marker | Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BMD Spine L1–L4 | g/cm² | Trend tracking only |
| BMD Femur Total | g/cm² | Trend tracking only |
| BMD Femur Neck | g/cm² | WHO diagnostic site |
| T-score Spine | score | Above −1 normal; −1 to −2.5 osteopenia; below −2.5 osteoporosis |
| T-score Femur Total | score | Same WHO criteria |
| T-score Femur Neck | score | WHO-preferred hip site |
| Z-score Spine | score | Age-matched; below −2.0 = low for age |
| Z-score Femur Total | score | Same criteria |
| Z-score Femur Neck | score | Same criteria |
Fatty acid labs
Fatty acid tests appear under a Fatty Acids sidebar group, with each lab in its own subcategory. Results from different labs are never mixed together.| Lab / product | Detection |
|---|---|
| Spadia | PDF content or filename |
| ZinZino BalanceTest | PDF content or filename |
| OmegaQuant (Basic / Plus / Complete, Ayumetrix) | PDF content or filename |
Even though results from different fatty acid labs appear in separate subcategories, the AI chat can compare and interpret results across all your fatty acid tests in a single conversation.
Metabolomix+
Genova Metabolomix+ imports create multiple subcategories under an OAT sidebar group:| Category | Markers | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Microbial Overgrowth | 14 | Citramalic acid, HPHPA, arabinose |
| Metabolic | 22 | Lactic, pyruvic, succinic, citric acid |
| Neurotransmitters | 14 | HVA, VMA, quinolinic acid |
| Nutritional & Detox | 24 | Methylmalonic, glutathione markers |
| Amino Acids & Lipids | 18 | Urine amino acids, fatty acid metabolites |
| Urine Amino Acids | 21 | Arginine, taurine, glycine |
| Urine Amino Metabolites | 18 | Methylhistidine, sarcosine |
| Toxic Elements | 18 | Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium |
| Nutrient Elements | 14 | Selenium, zinc, calcium, magnesium |
| Oxidative Stress | 2 | Lipid peroxides, 8-OHdG |
BioStarks
BioStarks dried blood spot panels are hybrid tests — they include both specialty markers and standard blood markers. getbased handles this automatically: specialty markers go to BioStarks-specific categories, while standard markers (glucose, lipids, testosterone, etc.) map to your existing blood work categories for combined trend tracking.Custom marker pipeline for unsupported labs
If your specialty lab is not in the table above, the AI still extracts all results from the PDF. For each unrecognized marker it creates:- A category organized under a test-type sidebar section
- A display name in plain English
- The unit of measurement
- Reference ranges from your lab report
- A group tag (e.g., “DUTCH”, “HTMA”) for sidebar organization
