Linden explains. Your doctor decides.

Linden helps you understand your results and get more out of appointments. It doesn't diagnose or prescribe. When a result needs a doctor's attention, it tells you so, clearly and straight away.

Common questions

Is Linden a doctor?

No. Linden explains your reports and helps you prepare for appointments. Diagnosis and treatment stay with your doctor.

How accurate are the explanations?

They're written with practising doctors and checked by them, and each one shows the reference range from your own lab. If a value looks urgent, Linden tells you to contact a doctor straight away.

What can Linden read?

Blood and urine tests, imaging reports (X-ray, MRI, CT and ultrasound), discharge summaries, prescriptions and most doctor's letters. A photo or a PDF both work.

Who can see my reports?

Only you, and anyone you choose to share them with. Your reports are encrypted. We don't sell them, and we don't use them to train AI models. Privacy and security has the details.

Can I add my family?

Yes. Each person gets their own profile, and you can switch between them in the app.

What if I feel unwell right now?

Linden can't help in an emergency. If you feel seriously unwell, call your local emergency number.
