LabSmarts Software Update
A faster, clearer way to move through your client’s blood work
The newest LabSmarts updates were built around real-practitioner workflow, helping you review reports faster, compare follow-up labs more clearly, and keep the client’s bigger picture connected over time.

I recorded a short video to show you how these updates work inside LabSmarts.
The written overview below gives you the highlights, but the video will show how these features work together when you are reviewing an analysis report or comparing follow-up labs.
Why These Updates Matter
When you are reviewing a client’s blood work, you are not just looking at isolated numbers.
🩸 You are trying to quickly understand:
🩸 Where should I focus first?
🩸 Which sections need the most attention?
🩸 What has changed since the last test?
🩸 Where does the client appear to be improving?
🩸 How do I summarize the bigger picture clearly?
These updates were created to make those questions easier to answer.
A Small Personal Note
At NANP’s HEALCon this year, I was honored to receive the H.E.A.L. Award, which recognizes the Highest Exceptional Achievement or Lifetime contribution in the holistic nutrition profession.
I am incredibly grateful for this recognition, but what makes it most meaningful is that LabSmarts has always been built for you, me, and our holistic and functional community.
Your feedback, questions, and real-world use of the software continue to shape what LabSmarts becomes.
These newest updates are part of that ongoing work.
What’s New
A New Results Overview Panel
LabSmarts now gives you a color-coded overview at the top of each analysis report, so you can quickly see which sections are optimal, outside optimal, outside the lab range, or in the alarm range.
Each section appears as a clickable button, giving you a faster way to understand the report before reviewing each marker in detail.
Why it matters:
You can orient yourself faster, prioritize your review, and know where to focus first.
Easier Navigation Inside Longer Reports
Each button in the Results Overview panel lets you jump directly to that section.
There is also a gray arrow button in the lower-right corner of the screen that returns you to the Results Overview at any time.
Why it matters:
You can navigate longer reports with less scrolling and stay oriented as you review different sections.
Improvement Indicators in Results Overview
When comparing two tests in the Test Results Analysis report, LabSmarts now shows a green thumbs-up or red thumbs-down icon in the Results Overview buttons.
These indicators help you quickly see which sections appear to be moving closer to optimal or further away from optimal between two test results.
Why it matters:
Follow-up reviews become easier because you can quickly spot areas of progress and areas that may need more attention.
Practitioner Notes (Insights) in Comparison PDFs
Practitioner notes from individual analysis reports can now appear at the bottom of the comparison table PDF.
This allows notes from multiple tests for the same client to stay connected in one place.
Why it matters:
Follow up labs are not just about comparing numbers. They are also about remembering what you noticed, what you emphasized, and what you wanted to keep watching.
A New Overall Progress and Trends Field
There is now an open text field called Overall Progress and Trends in the comparison table feature.
You can use this field to summarize the client’s overall progress, key trends, or meaningful changes across multiple tests.
Why it matters:
You now have a dedicated place to document the story across time, not just the individual marker changes.
Cleaner Client Intake Fields
The previous Cigarette Smoking field is now Inhaled Smoke, which better reflects regular smoke exposure from combusted sources such as cigarettes, cannabis, cigars, hookah, or wood and fire smoke.
The Alcohol Drinker field is also simplified to yes or no.
Why it matters:
The intake is cleaner and more aligned with how LabSmarts uses these fields for relevant pattern context.
Height, Weight, and BMI
Add in both Add Client and Add Test Results.
MA to get wording for this
Why it matters:
You now have a dedicated place to document the story across time, not just the individual marker changes.
More PDF Upload Support
LabSmarts now supports PDF uploads for:
Northwestern HealthLab
Clinical Pathology Laboratories, CPL
Why it matters:
More supported lab sources means more flexibility and less manual data entry when those PDFs can be uploaded directly.
