Our Methodology
Six evidence areas. One clearer picture.
Praneya combines lab context, wearable trends, biometric inputs, and lifestyle patterns. Each area contributes a different lens on your heart-health data, keeping Core focused on wellness tracking and clinician preparation.
- 01.
Lab Pattern Context
Praneya organizes blood-report values into plain-language themes so users can see what changed, what is missing, and what is useful to discuss with a healthcare provider.
Citation
Evidence category: published cardiovascular-prevention and laboratory-interpretation literature.
What this means for you: Your labs become a structured wellness baseline, not a diagnosis or treatment plan.
- 02.
Wearable Trends
Wearable data helps Praneya show direction and consistency over time. It is interpreted as wellness context because consumer wearables are imperfect clinical instruments.
Citation
Evidence category: exercise, sleep, recovery, and cardiovascular-wellness literature.
What this means for you: Your score can reflect sustainable habits and recent trends without pretending to predict an event.
- 03.
Vitals and Biometrics
Vitals and body measurements help contextualize lab results and wearable trends. Praneya keeps these as inputs for reflection and clinician conversation, not standalone clinical conclusions.
Citation
Evidence category: blood-pressure, body-composition, and preventive-health literature.
What this means for you: Small changes in daily patterns can be seen alongside your measured values.
- 04.
Uploaded Clinical Context
When users upload imaging summaries or clinician notes, Praneya can keep those records organized without turning them into treatment advice or a hidden risk prediction.
Citation
Evidence category: clinician-documentation and care-preparation workflows.
What this means for you: Your records stay accessible and ready for appointments, with interpretation left to your clinician.
- 05.
Wellness Levers
The Core experience focuses on the levers a person can track and discuss: activity, sleep, nutrition, recovery, stress patterns, and appointment preparation.
Citation
Evidence category: public-health, behaviour-change, and cardiovascular-wellness literature.
What this means for you: The score points back to changeable wellness patterns rather than clinical thresholds.
- 06.
Your Own Baseline
Rather than relying on false precision, the Core score uses panel completion, lifestyle signals, and your own trend history to show a practical wellness baseline.
Citation
Evidence category: longitudinal wellness tracking and self-comparison.
What this means for you: Progress is framed as direction and readiness, not a guarantee that everything is fine.
How the six areas combine
No single signal captures the full picture. Praneya combines your available inputs, weights them by completeness and relevance, and resolves them into one wellness baseline with the contributing areas shown alongside.
01 · Your data
Demographics & history
Age, sex, ethnicity, family history, blood-pressure medication
Blood biomarkers
Lipid panel, glucose, kidney function, inflammatory markers
Imaging & vitals
Resting blood pressure, coronary calcium score (when available)
02 · Six evidence areas
Lab patterns
Panel completeness and change
Wearable trends
Sleep, steps, recovery, heart rate
Biometric context
Observed wellness inputs
Uploaded records
Clinician conversation context
Wellness levers
Lifestyle patterns you can track
Your own baseline
Direction over time
03 · Your Praneya Score
One score, with the contributors visible.
You see the headline number, the tier (optimal, borderline, intermediate, or high), and which inputs contributed. Anything based on incomplete data is flagged so you know where to add context.
Weighting is deterministic: it depends on which inputs you have provided and how complete each area is. Two people with the same labs and different habits can see different wellness baselines.
Four calm states
Signal without the traffic lights.
Praneya uses four named states wherever a result needs visual context. Color always travels with text so the meaning stays clear.
Optimal
Looks on track in the current context.
Borderline
Still on track; worth noting at your next review.
Intermediate
Worth closer attention, and a conversation if it persists.
High
Needs calm review with your healthcare provider.
Core methodology keeps the Praneya Score grounded in your own data: panel completeness, lifestyle signals, biometric trends, uploaded context, and recent changes. Optional cardiovascular risk estimation is separate from this Core pathway and is available only where it has been explicitly cleared and enabled.
Important: Praneya provides wellness context only. It is not medical advice. If any result concerns you, or if you have abnormal lab values, consult your healthcare provider first before acting on any wellness information.
