The full prompt
/labterms Explain the terms on this lab report in plain words. For each item, say in one or two sentences what it measures and why doctors check it. Do not tell me whether my results are good or bad or what they mean for my health; end by reminding me to ask my doctor.
[upload a photo of the report, or paste or type the item names]
Replace the highlighted [brackets] with your own details, then send.
What you're asking
You ask what each lab test measures. You get a plain-language glossary, not a judgment about your results.
Give it
- The test names on the report
- Units or ranges if you want them explained
- What you're unsure about
You need: An AI app that accepts photos (most do, some only on paid plans).
No photo upload? Type or paste the test names instead.
Check: Not medical advice. Only your doctor can say what your results mean for you. Cover your name and ID numbers before uploading.
