• Clinical Interpretation Assistance: This application acts as an assistant for clinicians, providing immediate, easy-to-understand interpretations of complex genetic data. It's especially useful for healthcare providers who may not have specialized training in genetics.
• Patient Communication Aid: Physicians can use the tool to help translate technical jargon from genetic lab reports into simpler language, aiding in clearer communication with patients regarding their health conditions and potential genetic risks.
• Educational Resource: The tool can be incorporated into educational curricula for medical students, nursing students, and other healthcare trainees to improve their familiarity with the practical aspects of genetic testing and report interpretation.
• Quality Control: For genetic counselors and healthcare professionals, the application can serve as a secondary check to ensure that interpretations of genetic reports are consistent with current medical understanding.
• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The application can foster interdisciplinary collaboration by providing a common ground for understanding genetic information, which can be beneficial for teams that include physicians, genetic counselors, researchers, and bioinformaticians.

• Non-Professional Advice: The explanations provided by the app are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Caregivers should consult with healthcare professionals for clinical interpretations and decisions.
• Data Privacy: When the authors of the paper "Protected Health Information filter (Philter): accurately and securely de-identifying free-text clinical notes" evaluated the Philter library, it removed 99.4% of PHI in the clinical notes. While impressive, it is not perfect and can sometimes miss edge cases. Also, information like the user's state that normally aren't PHI in isolation could become PHI when combined with other such information (e.g., user's condition, age, etc.). Please be mindful of this when using the application.
• Scope of Interpretation: The app may not cover all aspects of genetic reports, such as very rare genetic markers or new discoveries that are not widely documented.

The efficacy of the application in explaining genetic lab reports relies on the advanced capabilities of the GPT-4 model, which has been trained on a diverse range of texts (including peer-reviewed genetic articles) for comprehensive understanding and generation of human-like text. User feedback and iterative improvements are crucial for enhancing the application's performance.

• Dedication to Data Privacy: The creators emphasize the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality and data protection. The Philter library removes PHI from user's file uploads and chat messages, although no deidentification system is perfect.
• Ongoing Development and Refinement: The application benefits from continuous updates aimed at enhancing its interpretative capabilities, usability, and reliability, with a commitment to iteratively refinement via incorporating user feedback.
• Enhancing Clinical Communication: The tool is crafted with the vision of improving the dialogue between genetic laboratories and clinicians, thereby optimizing patient care through better-informed clinical decisions.
