A test result in an app: a number is not yet an explanation

Based on LHD-012,r01,ARTICLE_EN.md.

Does a red line already mean a diagnosis?

No universal conclusion follows. Range and colour do not provide an individual's full meaning; outside a range does not always indicate disease, while inside does not guarantee health (II). This does not declare a particular result safe.

What question can I prepare?

“How does this answer the investigation's purpose and change the plan being discussed?” Preserve the name,date,units and range where possible, and state missing information honestly. Who explains the result is a separate administrative question (I,III–V,practice).

What if the app is inaccessible?

Ask for another accessible explanation. A relative, private service or automated interpretation is not a compulsory condition. The article guarantees no service and gives relatives no blanket authority (VIII).

Limits

No thresholds, individual diagnosis, unit conversion, home decision about repeat testing or treatment change. Philosophy assesses no urgency; serious current danger requires appropriate urgent help (IV–VII).
