Health Metrics Overview
In this section we are going to review exactly how to and where to look at data within Theia. Use the following methodologies to help automate and scale your health business.
Weekly Report
The primary use case of the weekly report is to act as a scorecard to show how a user is doing this week compared to last. Even though Theia engages daily the weekly report shows the user how they are trending week over week.
Here is the breakdown of how the weekly report shows data:
% change in glucose spikes
% change in glucose dips
% change in avg daily score
% change in activity score
(See sample report below)
Metabolic Report
Think of this report as a health overview over any timeline (one day, week, month, year etc.) The metabolic report is similar to the weekly report in terms of data shown with the added flexibility to see longer or shorter timelines depending on your use case.
(See sample metabolic report below)
In the context of the metabolic report, here is what all the metrics mean:
Glucose Spikes: Anytime glucose goes over the upper green bound of the graph
Glucose dips: Anytime glucose goes under the lower green bound of the graph
Time in range: Time spent in the green zone of the graph
Avg glucose: Weighted average of glucose for the time period selected
Avg daily score: Weighted average of all daily scores for the time period selected
Avg food score: Weighted average of all activity scores for the time period selected
Metabolic Graph
The metabolic report graph is interactive, where you can zoom in and out of specific areas to get more or less granular with your analysis.
For Desktop: Use your mouse to choose an area of exploration.
For Mobile: Pinch to zoom in and out.
Fasting Glucose
Understanding fasting glucose is valuable for analyzing how a client's baseline metabolic health is functioning and how well their body manages blood sugar without the influence of recent food or activity.
Here's how our fasting glucose metric is calculated:
We use glucose readings between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM (in the client's local time zone) to calculate fasting glucose.
We calculate fasting glucose by averaging the 150 lowest readings between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM. This helps us reflect the most stable overnight glucose levels.
The Glucose Heatmap
The Glucose Heatmap is a key feature of the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) report. It provides a visual summary of glucose trends throughout the day, helping identify patterns, stability, and areas for improvement in glucose management.
Main Aspects of The AGP Report Heatmap
Median Line
What it shows: average glucose levels throughout the day
What to look for: A relatively flat line indicates stable glucose. Spikes and dips show periods of instability.
Where to find it: The single line in the chart.
Range
What it shows: The full range of glucose readings (minimum to maximum values)
What to look for: A narrow area indicates consistent glucose levels. A wide area suggests high variability.
Where to find it: The light green area in the chart.
Interquartile Range
What it shows: The interquartile range (middle 50% of readings)
What to look for: This represents where most of a user's readings fall. A narrow area means more consistent glucose control.
Where to find it: the dark green area in the chart.
The heatmap gives a clear picture of your daily glucose patterns, allowing you to review:
When glucose levels are most likely to spike or dip
Whether glucose is more stable overnight or during the day
How a client's body typically responds to meals, exercise, or routines
This information can be used to reflect on:
When and what a client consumes
Whether medication or supplements are working as expected
How sleep, stress, or activity might be affecting blood sugar
How to make lifestyle changes that support more stable energy and health
