Root Cause Intelligence Explained
Root Cause Intelligence is a feature within the Clinical Insight section of a case. It analyzes the case signals and surfaces possible physiological drivers worth investigating.
What It Does
After Detected Patterns identifies clinical themes, Root Cause Intelligence asks: What underlying systems might be contributing to these patterns?
It produces a short list of possible root drivers, each with:
A confidence level (high, medium, low)
The signals from the case that support that hypothesis
A brief clinical explanation
Example Output
For a case with fatigue, digestive complaints, and sugar cravings:
Gut microbiome imbalance — High confidence
Signals: digestive symptoms, metabolic cluster, notes mentioning bloating
Blood sugar dysregulation — Medium confidence
Signals: sugar cravings, energy crashes, metabolic pattern
Chronic stress / HPA axis strain — Medium confidence
Signals: fatigue pattern, adrenal markers in notes
What It Is Not
Root Cause Intelligence is a clinical reasoning assistant, not a diagnostic engine. It highlights possibilities based on available signals — your clinical judgment determines which are relevant for this patient.
When It Works Best
Root Cause Intelligence becomes more useful when cases include:
Specific symptom clusters
Detailed clinical notes
Lab markers or uploaded lab panels
Availability
Root Cause Intelligence is available on paid plans and appears within the Clinical Insight section of a case.
