Clinical Workflow

SomaBiome is developing a non-invasive clinician-facing report designed to fit existing specialty-clinic workflow.

A clinic collects the sample, partner labs perform sequencing, and SomaBiome generates a one-page report for rapid review and triage.

The resulting one-page report provides objective biological context to support the diagnostic process:

  • Fibromyalgia-support score

    Derived from microbiome-based models developed in published research cohorts.

  • Interpretable microbial markers

    With clear limitations.

  • Concise clinical summary

    For rapid review and triage.

This tool is strictly defined as clinical decision support. It is intended to complement existing clinical assessments; the clinician remains the final decision-maker throughout the diagnostic journey.

Process Flow

01. Sample

Patient sample collection in a clinical setting.

02. Sequencing

High-throughput sequencing at partner laboratories.

03. Report

Computational analysis and report generation.

Report Design Principles

  • Rigorous QA

    Reproducible computational pipelines with hardened audit trails.

  • Interpretability

    Models designed to prioritize biological relevance over "black-box" predictions.

  • Workflow Fit

    Designed for rapid review by specialty pain and rheumatology clinicians.

Clinical decision support under development. Not for consumer use. Outputs are intended to support clinician-led decision-making and require prospective clinical validation.
