Legal overview

One place for the main rules, boundaries and responsibilities.

biomarkr helps structure, interpret and explain blood test information. It is not a diagnostic service, not a substitute for a clinician, and not designed to be used as the sole basis for medical decisions.

biomarkr is intended to
Help patients and clinicians understand blood test patterns over time.
Provide structured summaries, trend context, system-level signals and evidence-aware review prompts.
Support better conversations with clinicians by turning raw results into clearer, reviewable information.
biomarkr is not intended to
Diagnose, prescribe, treat, triage, or replace professional clinical judgement.
Tell users to start, stop or change medicines, supplements, treatments or care plans.
Act as an emergency service or urgent care pathway.
Privacy notice

What we collect and why.

biomarkr processes health data to provide blood test interpretation, longitudinal tracking, patient reports and clinic review workflows. We aim to collect only what is needed to provide and improve the service.

Controller details
Who is responsible for the data?

For direct patient accounts, biomarkr ltd is expected to act as the data controller for account and uploaded test data.

For clinic workflows, the clinic may be the controller and biomarkr may act as a processor depending on the final commercial and contractual setup. This must be confirmed in the clinic data processing agreement.

Data category
Purpose
Status
Account details
Create and manage user accounts, authentication, service messages and support requests.
Processed
Blood test data
Extract, normalise, interpret and display biomarker values, trends, body-system scores and reports.
Health data
Symptoms and context
Improve interpretation where the user chooses to provide optional context. Not required for every report.
Optional
Clinician edits
Maintain report versioning, approval status, audit trail and quality improvement history.
Stored
Patient names / NHS numbers
Not needed in the clinic workflow. The clinic should hold the mapping between patient identity and report ID.
Avoided
Clinic data model

Pseudonymous by design, where the workflow allows.

For clinic pilots, biomarkr is designed so the clinic can keep patient identity information in its own systems. biomarkr processes report IDs, biomarker values, report content and review metadata.

Clinic responsibility
The clinic keeps the identity link.

The clinic should assign a pseudonymous patient or report ID. biomarkr should not need patient names, NHS numbers, home addresses or direct contact details to generate a clinician-reviewable report.

  • The clinic keeps the identity mapping.
  • biomarkr processes the report and biomarker data.
  • Final controller / processor roles must be set in contract.
Medical disclaimer

biomarkr explains patterns. It does not practise medicine.

All outputs are for information, education and clinician-review support only. They should not be used as a diagnosis, prescription, clinical decision, emergency advice, or replacement for care from a qualified healthcare professional.

When to seek medical help

If you feel seriously unwell, have new or worsening symptoms, or believe you may need urgent medical help, do not rely on biomarkr. Contact your GP, NHS 111, 999, or your local emergency service as appropriate.

If biomarkr highlights a result or pattern that concerns you, discuss it with a qualified clinician who can consider your symptoms, medical history, examination findings, medications and wider context.

No treatment instructions

biomarkr does not tell users to start, stop or change any medication, supplement, diet, treatment or care plan. Any action should be discussed with a clinician.
