Method and system for detecting underlying health affections using biomarkers in humans and animals

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for developing and using diagnoses of one or more underlying health affections in humans or an animal specie using a plurality of biomarkers. A target one or more affections are defined and a set of biomarkers is selected. An index is computed based on the measured levels of the biomarkers. The biomarkers levels are discretized, and each discrete value is multiplied by a corresponding coefficient. The index scale is divided into ranges that are matched with health statuses. A subject's health affection status is subsequently determined by measuring the level of each biomarker in the set, computing the index and matching the index value to the predefined index scale.
