Earlier this year, we introduced the ability to track your clients’ results over time. Today, we’re thrilled to announce some major upgrades to our Trends feature—all based on your feedback!

Now you can effortlessly invite clients to share past results, import data in one click, and experience dramatically faster, more accurate parsing.

Trends — Track your client’s lab results over time

What's new with Trends:

• ✉️ Invite your clients to share their past results with you!
• 🗂️ Import all your results in one click, with PDFs or screenshots!
• 🏃‍♀️ The speed and accuracy of our parsing system has dramatically improved.
• 📊 Clients have the same great Trends experience in their Patient Portal

Here's what you can do:

• 🔍 Import unlimited past results from any lab company - even ones not offered on Rupa! Simply drag and drop results files or screenshots of them, we'll extract all the data for you.
• 🩸 Visualize results from Rupa orders entirely automatically. Including all basic blood labs, some hormone labs, and more.
• 🎯 Optionally set and customize optimal ranges to quickly spot markers that stray from the ideal.
• 🤓 100% Free for you and your clients to use!

Getting lab results faster can make a significant difference in patient care. That's why we're introducing a new feature: Rupa now supports preliminary results from Access Medical Labs. ✨

What's a preliminary result? A preliminary result is an individual biomarker result shared with you immediately after it's processed by the lab, without waiting for the entire order to be completed. This allows you to:

• ⚡️ Receive results much faster—often days earlier than before.
• 📈 Start analyzing and acting on data as it becomes available.
• 🧪 Provide your patients with quicker insights, potentially leading to faster treatment decisions.

Why this matters? In many cases, you'll receive preliminary results within hours of the lab test, compared to waiting days for the full report. This dramatic speed increase empowers you to:

• 🌱 Begin formulating treatment plans earlier.
• 🩸 Quickly identify concerning values that may need immediate attention.
• 💙 Reduce patient anxiety by delivering faster feedback.

From now on, you’ll receive these rapid preliminary results for all Access Medical orders by default. If you'd prefer to wait for the full report, you can easily disable preliminary results in your Rupa account settings.
