Import InsideTracker PDF Results into Health3 for Long-Term Biomarker Tracking
InsideTracker is a US-based blood test analysis service founded in 2009 as an MIT spin-out. It handles the venous draw, the analysis, and its own recommendations. If you have used InsideTracker for a year or more, you almost certainly have several PDF reports in your account.
Health3 does not connect to InsideTracker through any API. Instead, you download the PDF you already have access to, upload it inside the Health3 app, and Health3’s OCR engine parses each biomarker into a structured timeline that lives alongside results from any other lab — LabCorp, Quest, a hospital system, or a clinic abroad.
Why InsideTracker subscribers track in Health3 too
InsideTracker is good at what it does: ordering the test, analysing the result, and translating it into recommendations through its own engine. What it is not built for is being the universal home of every lab result you will ever generate. Most longevity-minded people use InsideTracker for a season or two, then continue testing through a primary care physician at LabCorp or Quest, perhaps add a thyroid panel from a different provider, perhaps test abroad while travelling, and eventually want to look at a single ferritin curve covering five or ten years.
Health3 was designed for that long-tail tracking job. Once a result is in, it lives on a per-biomarker timeline alongside every other reading for the same marker, regardless of which lab produced it. Reference ranges are preserved, so an InsideTracker reading from 2024 and a LabCorp reading from 2026 can sit on one chart with each lab’s range overlaid. The two products are complementary: InsideTracker for ordering and analysing a fresh test, Health3 for keeping every result — including InsideTracker’s — on a continuous timeline.
A few specific reasons subscribers also keep results in Health3:
- Longitudinal continuity. If you pause your InsideTracker subscription, your historical PDFs remain useful inside Health3 because the values are stored and charted there.
- Combining with non-InsideTracker labs. Doctor-ordered labs, hospital tests, and at-home draws end up scattered across portals. Health3 unifies them on one timeline.
- Offline access. The app keeps imported values on your device, so you can pull up a trend without needing a portal login during an appointment.
- Multilingual context. Health3 ships in 25 languages, useful if you split time between countries or help a relative read results in their first language.
How to export your InsideTracker results
InsideTracker delivers results to members through its web and mobile apps. From your account, open a completed test and use the option to view or download the results as a PDF. The exact wording may change over time, so check InsideTracker’s own help documentation if the menu has moved; the principle is the same — you want a downloadable PDF that includes biomarker names, values, units, and the reference ranges your report uses.
Multi-page PDFs are common. Once the file is downloaded on a desktop browser, you can move it onto your phone via AirDrop, a cloud drive, or a chat app. On a phone, the PDF usually lands in your default downloads folder or in the iOS Files app, ready to be picked up by Health3.
How Health3 reads your InsideTracker PDF
Once the PDF is on your device, the import flow inside Health3 is short. You tap the upload action, choose “PDF upload”, and select the file. Health3 supports multi-page PDFs up to 100 MB, which covers even longer InsideTracker reports including cover pages and recommendation sections.
Health3’s OCR engine reads the PDF, identifies every biomarker name, value, unit, and reference range on the page, then cross-checks that extraction and flags anything ambiguous. It copes well with the mix of tables, callouts, and narrative text that InsideTracker reports tend to contain, and supports lab reports in 25 languages.
Other supported import methods sit alongside PDF upload. You can take a photo of a printed page, upload an image file, or enter values manually. On iOS, Health3 can also pull clinical lab records that flow through Apple Health using the FHIR and LOINC standards — clinical lab records only, not general HealthKit data such as steps or heart rate.
What happens after upload
After Health3 parses the PDF, you see each detected biomarker laid out with its value, unit, and reference range. You confirm the test date, optionally tag the result with a note (for example “post-vacation” or “new supplement stack”), and save.
From there, every imported value lives on a per-biomarker timeline. The chart focuses on a single biomarker per view, with the laboratory reference range drawn as an overlay. As soon as you upload a second result that contains the same marker — whether from InsideTracker again or from any other lab — the chart fills out as a time-series line, and you can interpret direction and slope rather than a single point. Health3’s journey-aware AI insights can summarise what changed across visits; insights can be rated with a thumbs up or thumbs down so the system improves over time.
To share trends with a clinician, Health3 offers PDF export of your tracked data. The app does not export CSV.
Privacy and data handling
Health3 is GDPR-compliant. Sensitive data is stored on servers closest to your region per Health3’s documentation, and the app uses standard authentication options — email and password, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In. There is no advertising network reading your lab data. Health3 does not claim HIPAA compliance, so treat it as a personal tracking tool rather than a medical record system; for anything HIPAA-covered, your provider’s portal remains the system of record.
Sharing happens only when you explicitly export a PDF or send a file from your device. Each Health3 account is private to its owner, so you remain in control of every export. Subscriptions are handled via RevenueCat; a free tier covers a limited library, and the paid tier opens the full library.
Combining InsideTracker results with other labs
The single biggest reason InsideTracker subscribers add Health3 is to combine InsideTracker readings with non-InsideTracker readings. The biomarkers themselves are usually compatible — ferritin, vitamin D 25-OH, HbA1c, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, hsCRP, TSH, and the components of a complete blood count are reported in standard units across most reputable labs. Health3 normalises common unit variants where possible (for example mg/dL versus mmol/L for glucose, ng/mL versus nmol/L for vitamin D 25-OH).
The table below lists biomarkers that frequently appear on InsideTracker reports and how they slot into Health3’s 180-biomarker library. Exact panels InsideTracker offers vary by plan; this is a sample of what often shows up in PDFs that members upload to Health3.
| Common InsideTracker biomarker | How Health3 stores and charts it |
|---|---|
| Ferritin | Iron-storage marker on its own timeline; ranges preserved per report |
| Vitamin D 25-OH | Stored in ng/mL or nmol/L with automatic normalisation |
| HbA1c | Tracked as percentage with estimated average glucose where available |
| Total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides | Each lipid component on its own chart, plus cross-reference to the lipid topic |
| hsCRP | Inflammation marker tracked alongside other immune-health biomarkers |
| Total testosterone | Hormonal marker tracked with its lab-specific reference range |
| TSH | Thyroid screening marker tracked with free T4 and free T3 when present |
| Cortisol | Stress and adrenal marker, tracked over time with notes for context |
Esoteric markers that fall outside the current 180-biomarker library can still be entered manually so that nothing on your InsideTracker PDF is lost.
Frequently asked questions
Key takeaway: Health3 does not pull data from InsideTracker through an API and is not a substitute for InsideTracker’s test ordering and analysis. Instead, you upload the PDF report you already have access to, and Health3’s OCR engine turns each biomarker into a longitudinal trend that lives alongside every other lab you have ever used.
