COMPARE THE RIGHT CONTEXT
| Comparison | Meaning | Keep attached |
|---|---|---|
| Personal baseline | An established individual reference, such as nightly wrist-temperature change. | Baseline state, device/source, recording period and gaps. |
| Source interval | An interval supplied by a laboratory for that result. | Exact unit, method, specimen, source and collection/report time. |
| Personal goal | A chosen activity target, such as exercise minutes. | The target, period and whether the value is an estimate. |
None of these is a universal health score or an automatic diagnosis.
The intended NRTH views keep exact units and measurement methods attached. A changed method or missing sample should remain visible instead of becoming an invented continuous trend.
A personal baseline, a source-provided reference interval and a personal activity goal are different comparisons. The visual language keeps those roles separate.
Apple describes nightly wrist-temperature data as changes from an established personal baseline. It is not an on-demand thermometer. NRTH’s illustrative wrist view preserves that baseline context.
When structured data or a supported visualization is unavailable, the source document remains the fallback. Unverified extraction should be identified as such.
