Every range has a source.
Your lab tells you whether a number is common. Gemut also shows whether it’s optimal, and where each range comes from.
- Lab range0–5.0mg/L
Where 95 out of 100 healthy people land. Your lab prints it on the report.
CLSI EP28 - Optimal range≤ 1.0mg/L
Narrower: the low-risk group in the AHA/CDC statement on hs-CRP.
Pearson et al., Circulation, 2003 - Your hs-CRP2.4mg/L
Inside the lab range, above the optimal range, so Gemut marks it Worth a look.
Why can a normal result be worth a look?
Your lab checks one range. Gemut checks two. So every number gets one of four statuses, in the same colors as the app.
- Abnormal
Outside your lab’s range.
- Worth a look
Inside the lab range, outside the optimal range.
- Optimal
Inside the optimal range.
- Normal
Inside the lab range, for numbers without an optimal range.
Each test also gets a score out of 100.
Four numbers your lab doesn’t report.
Gemut works them out from your results. Gemut age is free, the other three come with Plus.

How Noa uses the science.
The same ranges and studies sit behind Noa’s answers. Four steps, every time.
- 01Medical studies
Noa starts from medical studies and guidelines.
- 02Your results
Your numbers, your past tests and your answers to a few setup questions.
- 03A plain answer
What in your body led to the number, in everyday words.
- 04A source
Every answer shows where it comes from, so you can check it.
The studies behind the numbers.

What Gemut won’t claim.
Gemut gives educational information about your results.
- 01A diagnosis
Gemut explains what your results may mean. A diagnosis comes from your doctor.
- 02Medication changes
Gemut doesn’t tell you to start, stop or change a medication. Talk to your doctor first.
- 03Reading the images
For an ultrasound, MRI or CT, Gemut reads only the doctor’s written conclusion.
- 04Proof it doesn’t have
No reviews, ratings or partnerships that don’t exist. We show only what is actually there.
- 05Medical device status
Gemut is not a medical device. It gives educational information and is not meant to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease.
