Thanks for sharing this and empowering others to improve their heart health outcomes.

I’m not in love with the idea of sharing my biomarkers with multiple health-tech companies and really want a self-hosted solution to import biomarkers from multiple sources such as Apple Health, arbitrary csv and jsons while avoiding duplication.

Claude Code is something that will make this dream a reality for me pretty soon.

Do you have any tips on biomarker data design or import gotchas?



The thing that took the most time was normalizing biomarker names and units across labs. Even for the same lab chain (say, Quest), you'll get the same biomarker with slightly different names (e.g., Lp(a) vs Lipoprotein(a) vs Lipoprotein a) or units (e.g., cells/uL vs 10^9/L).


that was my experience just comparing Apple Health export using Stanford Labs data vs say FunctionHealth.

Im hoping to use LLMs to help with this process.

Will try to use LOINC dataset to standardize against
