At-Home Lab Kits
For certain tests, ThriveLab uses Ayumetrix for at-home dried blood-spot collection kits:
- Kit_Ayumetrix module — tracks shipped kits (forward and return shipments)
- Ayumetrix_orders_queue — staging table for orders routed to the at-home kit pipeline
Lab Vendors
The Lab Order Tests module stores a catalog of every individual test ThriveLab can order, with vendor-specific codes for each external lab partner.
Compliance Notes
Lab ordering is subject to:
- DEA regulations (certain controlled substances)
- State telehealth licensing (different rules per state)
- HIPAA (results are PHI — never send to LLMs without anonymizing)
