This is an unethical product to release, even if you were a medical professional proficient in blood tests.
"I'd just like to know if I need to worry or not..." is not a defense when the product is promoted as "I built an AI that gives expert-backed blood test insights in seconds." The accuracy of AI alone is far below medical standards and is more likely to hurt users instead of help them by giving them inaccurate advice (c.f. Theranos).
If you don't want to lose everything you own in a potential lawsuit from users following your app's potentially incorrect advice, I recommend you close it down and chalk it up as a fun proof-of-concept. Health apps aren't something you release as a beta.
I'm Larsen and I've been a software engineer for 5 years now, but I recently started building my own apps. Blood Insight AI is one of my first projects, inspired by my own frustration with how difficult it can be to understand blood test results without a doctor.
The idea is simple: AI-powered insights backed by expert data, so people can get a quick, understandable breakdown of their results and see if there is anything to worry about.
This is an early version, so I'd love feedback. Have you ever struggled to interpret blood test results? What features would make a tool like this truly valuable?
Also, I’ll be in SF soon! If anyone wants to meet up and chat about AI or related topics, let me know. Always happy to exchange ideas.

„If you should see a doctor“
Isn’t the blood test normally done by a doctor who also receives the results and calls you if something is wrong?
