Whether you are a patient hoping to better understand the lab results you just got back from the doctor’s office, or are an employee entering the medical field and need to recognize commonly ordered medical laboratory tests, knowing the meaning of lab results can be very useful. This Alexa skill will help you both interpret the abbreviations of medical lab tests and also further your understanding of why the lab test may have been ordered. For example, if you ask “What does LDL mean?”, you will learn that “LDL or low-density lipoprotein is a type of cholesterol associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, and is often called the bad cholesterol”. The skill will provide a basic understanding of the test, but does not provide medical advice or specific diagnoses.
