ChatGPT vs BioSense

ChatGPT answers you. BioSense knows you.

Why use a dedicated service to understand your lab results, when generalist AI is free?

If you are reading this page, you have probably wondered: why sign up for BioSense when you can ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for free?

It is a fair question. Generalist AI tools are good at simplifying and rephrasing, and some now offer dedicated health spaces. For a one-off question, they are often enough. BioSense made a different choice: a service built for one thing only, helping you understand your lab results over time.

Explanations suited to your situation

Several factors are known to influence test results: age, sex, certain treatments, weight, diet, physical activity. When you sign up, you fill in a structured questionnaire (medical history, treatments, lifestyle, prevention goals). You fill it in once and update it when your situation changes.

With every new panel, BioSense uses it to adapt its explanations and its prevention advice, pointing out the factors generally associated with each marker.

For example, a generic explanation will say: “Your LDL is 1.40 g/L, above the laboratory’s reference range.” A tailored explanation will add: “You have indicated that you are on treatment for cholesterol. In treated patients, the LDL target is set individually by the doctor and may differ from the laboratory range. You may want to raise this at your next appointment.”

These explanations are neither a diagnosis nor a medical interpretation of your results. Only your doctor can interpret them in the light of your state of health.

Identified sources

Generalist AI tools draw on a very large corpus of texts, of varying quality and vintage, without always stating where a piece of information comes from. BioSense draws in particular on identified medical sources, including the HAS, the ANSM, the ESC, the ADA and the WHO. This reference base is updated regularly.

Some proofreading and scientific corrections were carried out by the CHU de Montpellier (Montpellier University Hospital). That involvement does not constitute an individual medical validation of BioSense reports, nor medical advice, a diagnosis, a consultation or a therapeutic recommendation.

Tracking over time

Cholesterol at 2.2 g/L, steady for ten years, and cholesterol that has been climbing for six months are two different situations, which your doctor will read differently. On BioSense, every panel you upload appears next to the previous ones: you see how each marker moves.

Added to that are recommendations on four pillars (physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management), a thirty-day programme and a PDF document to take to your doctor, with your key results and questions prepared from your panel.

Your health data

Your data is stored in France, with Scaleway. The detail of the processing carried out, including processing involving artificial intelligence providers, is set out in our privacy policy. You can delete your account and your data at any time.

Whichever service you use, check where your health data is hosted and whether it may be used to train models.

Two tools, two uses

To make sense of a term or ask a quick question, a generalist AI does the job well. To understand your lab results year after year and prepare your appointments, BioSense is built for that.
