Reading Diagnostic Results with Sigma AI

When a lab or imaging result arrives as a document, Sigma AI reads the file and pulls the individual results out of it, so you review structured values instead of retyping them from a PDF.

What happens when a file arrives

Sigma AI starts as soon as the document is attached:

• It scans the file and fills in the test results it finds
• It drafts a Note to Patient that you can edit, replace, or clear
• The result goes to your Lab results to review or Imaging results to review list, where you confirm, correct, or discard what it found

Until you mark the result as reviewed, your patient sees only the document in the SigmaMD app. The extracted values and the Note to Patient appear once the result is marked as reviewed, and the patient is notified about the note at that point. A note you clear before then is never shown or sent.

While the result is pending review, the info icon beside Note to Patient — and beside Tests on imaging results — is a reminder: Visible to patient once marked as reviewed.

Reviewing the extraction

Two messages tell you when the extraction is incomplete:

• Sigma AI scanned only the first 30 pages of this file. Check the rest for missed results. — long documents are read up to a limit
• No diagnostic results found in the file. — the file had nothing recognizable, and the document is still attached

In both cases the original document stays available, so you can read the parts Sigma AI did not cover.

Accuracy and feedback

Every extraction carries the reminder that Sigma AI is evolving; please review output for accuracy. Where the extraction was wrong or unhelpful, leave feedback from the result — it is the signal used to improve the reading.

Check the extracted values and the Note to Patient against the document before you mark the result as reviewed, so an AI misreading does not stay in the patient's record.
