BioNova: Streamlined Lab Reporting


Overview
Bionova is a clinical intelligence platform that automates the analysis of lab results and generates health insight reports in minutes, replacing an hours-long manual process with an AI-powered system that keeps clinicians in full control.


The Vision
Many clinicians have quietly asked this question: how can we use technology to see what our eyes cannot, and do it faster without losing accuracy? Bionova’s founder faced this same struggle again and again, a process involving hours spent entering biomarkers from lab results, converting between units, checking for errors, and generating reports that still needed review. This intensive work meant it could take as long as eight hours for a single patient.
In response, the vision was simple yet ambitious: to build an intelligent system that could read laboratory results, interpret them with clinical reasoning, and generate reliable insights in minutes. But to make that possible, a fundamental shift was required, as artificial intelligence had to become clinical intelligence.
That was where Slaine Labs came in.


The Challenge
The challenge was not just time. It was trust.
Bionova wanted to automate report generation, but automation alone could not interpret medical data safely.
They needed a system that could
- Extract data accurately from laboratory results.
- Convert between international and US units without error.
- Provide medically sound insights while keeping the clinician in control.
The question was not if it could be done, but how to do it safely and responsibly.
The Diagnosis
At its core, Bionova's challenge was precision.
AI could process numbers, but it lacked clinical context with things like gender, reference ranges, and disease patterns. The real solution, therefore, required merging AI's speed with human oversight.
Ultimately, we needed to design a workflow that understood, validated, and adapted through every lab report processed.


Treatment Plan
We treated Bionova like a clinical system, not a piece of software. Every layer was built around accuracy, accountability, and ease of use.
- The backend handled extraction, matching, and conversions with built-in safeguards.
- The frontend gave clinicians full control to review and approve results before final reports.
- AI served as a support system, while the clinician remained the decision-maker.
The outcome was a product that was intelligent, reliable, and safe for real-world healthcare use.


The Experiment
Biomarker Processor
Extracted up to 95 percent of biomarkers accurately from raw lab results, resolving duplicates and missing values automatically.
Matcher Engine
Matched biomarkers across inconsistent formats, names, and units, reducing correction time by more than 80 percent.
Conversion Module
Converted biomarkers between international and US units, flagging uncertain conversions for clinician review.
Human in the Loop Control
Gave clinicians the power to verify, edit, or add biomarkers at any stage, ensuring the report always reflected medical judgment.


Medical Context
Because this was a healthcare product, every decision was guided by clinical logic.
- Gender and reference-specific grading ensured accuracy in interpretation.
- Abnormal values were color coded and grouped by severity for easier analysis.
- The interface reduced cognitive load, allowing faster and safer review.
The result was not just a functional tool, but a trusted clinical companion that empowered precision medicine.
The Outcome
After launch, Bionova's transformation was clear.
Generating a health insights report dropped from eight hours to eight minutes, with accuracy reaching 95 percent. Clinicians now process patient data faster and with greater confidence, knowing every insight is backed by structure and logic.
For the founder, it proved one thing: with the right design, AI does not replace medical judgment. It strengthens it.


Lab Takeaway
Bionova taught us that the future of medicine is not machine-driven but human-led.
When AI respects context and clinicians trust the process, technology stops feeling artificial and starts feeling alive.
This is what we build for, precision that serves people.
Testimonial


Lewis Crook
Entrepreneur, BioNova
Working with Slaine Labs was eye-opening — I saw firsthand how much clinical context and care can transform a healthcare product.
Their clinical insights were critical; they understood how biomarker conversions are nuanced by gender, menstrual cycles, and even lab-specific naming conventions. This fundamentally improved our patient reports.
Their commitment to safety was just as impressive, building the product to ensure a human clinician is always the final decision-maker. I would recommend this team to anyone, every time.
