💡 Problem Description

Some users may not be familiar with medical terms like HDL, TSH, Normal Range, etc. This can make it hard for them to understand their health reports.


✅ Proposed Solution

Add a Help Tooltip or Info Panel beside key column headers in the results table.

  • A small icon will appear next to headers (e.g., Normal Range).
  • On hover or click, it will show a tooltip with a short explanation.
  • Example: “Values outside this range may indicate abnormal test results. Please consult a doctor.”

🔄 Alternatives Considered

  • Adding a separate glossary page (too heavy for a small enhancement).
  • Adding footnotes under the table (clutters UI).

📘 Additional Context

This feature improves usability and learning, especially for non-medical users, while keeping the UI clean.
