For clinicians

Microbiome report support for clinicians.

VAMS BIOME provides structured, method-bounded microbiome reports that help clinicians review sequencing-derived findings, explain ecological context, and communicate limitations clearly with patients.

Clinical use context

Where the reports fit

A consistent, method-bounded report format across ecosystems — for clinicians who want structure without overstatement.

GPs & primary care clinicians A clearer microbiome report structure and patient-friendly education.
Women’s health clinicians Vaginal microbiome ecology and CST context, communicated with limitations.
Dietitians & nutrition professionals Gut ecosystem context to support wellness-oriented education.
Integrative / functional practitioners Structured, method-bounded reports with confidence cues.
Gastrointestinal health practitioners Diversity/composition context and longitudinal retesting framing.
Research-active clinicians Ecosystem-specific report review for education or research discussion.

Workflow

Where a report fits in practice

  1. 1

    Test selection

    Patient or clinic selects the relevant microbiome test.

  2. 2

    Processing

    Sample is processed through an approved workflow.

  3. 3

    Report generation

    An ATLAS™ report is generated.

  4. 4

    Clinician review

    Clinician reviews report structure, confidence, and method notes.

  5. 5

    Professional judgment

    Clinician applies professional judgment to contextualise results.

  6. 6

    Patient discussion

    Patient education or next-step discussion occurs — outside VAMS automated claims.

Report interpretation

How to read an ATLAS™ report

Confidence & QC cues show how firmly a pattern can be read
Method & sequencing limitations are stated on every report
Ecosystem summaries describe composition and diversity, not causation
Scores / panels / insight packs give structured context where available
Longitudinal comparison is supported where retesting applies

Appropriate & inappropriate use

What the reports are — and are not — for

What the reports are — and are not — for
Appropriate use Not appropriate
Explaining microbiome diversity and composition to patients Diagnosing any disease, illness or infection
Reviewing ecosystem context (gut, vaginal, oral, skin) Treatment decisions, disease management or prescribing
Supporting wellness-oriented patient education Clinical-decision automation or replacing clinical judgment
Comparing repeat reports over time, where retesting applies Screening, ruling out, or confirming a medical condition
Research or audit discussions, where appropriate Emergency or acute clinical assessment

Scientific evidence & limitations

How the reports stay careful

Reports describe associations, not causation, and are method-bounded. Evidence posture and limitations are stated so results are read with appropriate caution.

FAQ

Clinician questions

Are reports diagnostic?

No. VAMS BIOME reports are educational, wellness-oriented, and method-bounded — not a diagnosis.

Can clinicians use these reports for treatment decisions?

Reports support review and patient education. Clinical interpretation and any management decisions remain the clinician’s professional judgment.

What does the professional view include?

Structured ecosystem summaries, scores/panels where available, confidence & QC cues, and clearly stated method limitations.

Can I request a demo?

Yes — request a clinician demo to review the report structure, confidence cues, and interpretation boundaries.

Can patients bring reports to clinicians?

Yes. Reports are designed to be reviewed and contextualised by a qualified professional.

Which ecosystems are supported?

Gut (GutX™), vaginal (VagiX™), oral (OralX™), and skin (SkinX™) microbiome ecosystems.

Are reports suitable for women’s health clinics?

The women’s-health report content covers vaginal microbiome ecology and CST context within research-use, non-diagnostic boundaries.

How are confidence and limitations shown?

Each report carries confidence/QC cues and method-boundary notes so results are read with appropriate caution.

Can reports be used in research?

Research use is possible under consent-aware, scoped arrangements — discuss during a demo or scoping conversation.

What is not included?

No diagnosis, treatment recommendation, disease management, prescribing advice, or clinical-decision automation.
