About us
It started with one practice and a lot of spreadsheets
My Practice Labs began as a fix for one tedious job. Here is how it came to be, and what we are trying to build.
How it started
My wife, Jenny Shepherd, M.S., is a nutritionist. She was working on the administrative side of a practice that helps couples who have had difficulty conceiving, and at the same time I was teaching myself back end development.
Jenny told me about a part of the job that took hours: copying client lab results into a spreadsheet by hand, one value at a time. The alternative was paying a lot for a service that never quite did what the practice needed.
So I set out to solve that one problem for her. As the app grew, with Jenny advising on it and testing it, we realized it could help a lot of practitioners doing the same work.
What we care about
I truly want to help private, independent healthcare grow. That means building something that helps practitioners first: it should save real time, be good value for what it costs, and stay out of the way of their own judgment.
What My Practice Labs is, and is not
My Practice Labs organizes lab results. It reads the files your clients send, lines each value up against reference ranges you control, and builds a report with your practice's branding. Every interpretation, recommendation and conversation with your client stays with you.
Who we are
We are a small family business, and our own health and wellness is a priority at home. I build and run the app. Jenny, a nutritionist with an M.S., has been our advisor and tester, and she co-wrote our first article for practitioners.
