Every value explained in plain language, with Bio-Test’s own reference ranges and your trend across visits. A card that checks you in at the desk. Booking at any of our 11 centres. Results from other labs, in the same place. Built by the lab that runs your tests, in Ottawa.
Each result arrives the moment Bio-Test releases it, alongside the reference range our lab actually used, a plain-words explanation of what the test measures, and how the value has moved since your last visits. Anything outside the range is explained, not just flagged in red.
What the research says about this test, with the source named and linked.
Which of your results the question touches, and what the lab's range means for that test.
Anything specific to you becomes a question to bring to your next appointment.
Shown here in words rather than a screenshot: the coach is still in testing.
Ask what a test measures, why a value might drift, or what the research says about sleep and fasting glucose. The coach answers in general terms, cites where the information comes from, and points you back to your doctor for anything about you specifically. It does not diagnose, does not prescribe, and will not tell you to start or stop a medication.
The coach is an optional feature you turn on in Settings. It is not a medical service and does not replace advice from your physician or nurse practitioner.
Your patient card carries a QR code and nothing else: no name, no health card number. When the desk scans it, our system opens your booked visit, your health card on file, and the requisition you attached, so you hand over nothing at the counter and take a seat.
Add a PDF from LifeLabs, Dynacare, a hospital portal or a lab outside Ontario, or photograph the printed report. The app reads the values on your phone, shows you a review table to check row by row, and only then saves them. Nothing is typed in by hand, and nothing is imported without a document behind it.
Pick the nearest patient service centre or the soonest slot, add it to your calendar, and attach your requisition to the visit. Before you come, the app tells you whether your tests need fasting and what that means in practice. Walk-ins are still welcome; the app just takes the waiting out of it.
Read on your phone through HealthKit. Nothing is written back.
Sign in to your account once; recovery, sleep and strain appear beside your results.
Five heart-rate zones from your own data, with the source shown.
Shown in words rather than a screenshot: these screens are still being finished.
Connect Apple Health, WHOOP or Oura and see resting heart rate, sleep and workouts next to your lab results, on the same timeline. Training zones are calculated from your own data. Everything here is optional and off by default; turn it on in Settings if it is useful to you.
Wearable data stays separate from your lab record and is never sent to your doctor.
Bio-Test Laboratory is the health information custodian for your results, the same as when you visit a centre. The app changes how you see them, not who is responsible for them.
Your data is stored and processed on servers in Canada and does not leave the country.
Handled under Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act, with Bio-Test as custodian.
Your Ontario health card number, last name and date of birth are matched against our records before any result is shown.
Sign in with Apple or a one-time code sent to your email. Nothing to invent, reuse or forget.
Face ID or your passcode after a short time in the background, and a privacy screen in the app switcher.

No. There is nothing to set up in advance. When the app launches you sign in with Apple or with a one-time code sent to your email, then confirm who you are with your Ontario number, last name and date of birth. There are no passwords to create or remember.
Your data is stored in Canada and handled under Ontario's Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), with Bio-Test Laboratory as the health information custodian. The app locks with Face ID, the patient card's QR code carries a random code rather than your details, and you can export or delete your data from Settings.
Not at launch. Each person signs in to their own account with their own . Adding a child or a parent you care for is planned for a later update, once the rules for minors' records are settled.
No. The coach gives general information with its sources, tied to what your results measure, and it never diagnoses, prescribes or tells you to change a medication. Questions about what a result means for you belong with your doctor or nurse practitioner, and the coach will say so.
Yes. Add the PDF you downloaded from their portal, or take a photo of the printed report. The app reads the values on your phone, shows you a table to check row by row, and only then saves them, marked as added by you with the issuing lab's name and its own reference ranges.
