Theriome Case Study

Building the secure workflow behind a practitioner ordered metabolomics test

MatrixFlow helped Theriome turn a complex laboratory operation into one controlled system, from test order and sample collection through analysis, scientific review, and secure delivery of each patient's metabolic health report to the ordering practitioner.

About Theriome

From disconnected steps to one secure clinical workflow

Theriome offers an at home metabolomics test, marketed as the Aristotle test and ordered through healthcare practitioners. A practitioner orders the test for their patient, and the patient collects a small dried blood sample at home using a simple finger prick and ships it to the laboratory. The lab analyzes the sample using mass spectrometry to measure a large panel of metabolites, the small molecules that reflect what is actually happening in a person's metabolism. Those measurements are then scored across a set of health domains and delivered back to the ordering practitioner as a personalized metabolic health report for their patient.

formal transition with documentation, runbooks, and credential rotation

Infrastructure cost reduction is approximate and reflects the redesigned containerized report generation architecture compared to the prior approach. Workflow stages counted from practitioner order through approved report delivery. Numbers reflect a single client engagement.

Client perspective

If you want something done correctly, use MatrixFlow.
As AI-assisted and 'vibe-coded' development becomes more common, it can create hidden technical, security, and scalability issues that experienced developers and engineers must resolve. MatrixFlow brought that expertise, responded quickly, and worked through every detail with us until the system met the standard we wanted. Their attention to detail and commitment to getting it right gave Theriome a secure, reliable foundation we can confidently build upon.

The challenge

One test, many disconnected systems.

When MatrixFlow engaged, the work of moving a single test from order to finished report crossed many separate steps and systems: ordering and commerce, the patient health intake survey, outbound and return shipping, sample receipt at the lab, raw laboratory data, the scoring and report generation process, scientific review, and final report delivery to the practitioner.

Much of this lived in disconnected tools, and moving a case from one stage to the next required manual reconciliation. As testing volume grew, Theriome needed a system that could show exactly where each case stood, move data securely between systems, enforce scientific review before any report was released, and produce a consistent report every time.

Because the platform handled personal identity information alongside laboratory health data, security, access controls, and auditability had to be designed in from the start rather than added later.

The approach

Designed around the lifecycle of a single test.

MatrixFlow worked with Theriome to translate the real laboratory operation into a connected application and data architecture. Rather than treating the portal, the data pipelines, the report generation process, and the cloud infrastructure as separate projects, MatrixFlow designed the system around the full lifecycle of a single test, from the moment a practitioner orders a kit to the moment an approved report reaches them.

Order and intake

A practitioner orders a test for their patient, and the patient completes a health intake survey. The order and survey responses are captured and tied to the test using a single operational key that follows the sample through every later stage.

Kit and sample logistics

The system tracks the kit outbound to the patient and the sample on its return to the lab, pulling shipment milestones so staff and the ordering practitioner can see, at a glance, whether a kit has been delivered and whether a sample is on its way back.

Sample receipt and laboratory data

When the lab receives the sample and runs it through its analytical instruments, the resulting metabolite measurements are ingested, processed, and prepared for scoring, with the anonymized laboratory data kept separate from the patient's identity.

Report generation

A scoring engine turns the raw metabolite measurements into the patient's domain scores and overall result, and renders a finished, consistently formatted report. This entire step runs inside a self contained, ephemeral cloud container that is created to generate the report and destroyed immediately afterward, so sensitive data never leaves a tightly bounded environment. AI assisted insight content is generated within that same secured environment.

Scientific review and release

The generated report enters a review queue and stays invisible to the ordering practitioner until an authorized scientist approves it. The approval decision is recorded in the workflow and controls whether the report is ever released.

Delivery

Once approved, the report is made available to the ordering practitioner for secure download and review with their patient.

What MatrixFlow built

Applications, data, security, and infrastructure as one system.

A single operating system for the workflow

Connected ordering, patient intake, shipment tracking, laboratory data, report generation, scientific review, and secure delivery into one coordinated workflow, keyed on a single operational identifier.

A secure, role based portal

Web portal with user authentication, multifactor authentication, and role based access so staff, scientists, and practitioners each reach only the functions and information appropriate to their role.

Privacy conscious data architecture

Patient identity separated from laboratory data throughout. Identity in isolated storage, anonymized lab data in the analytical environment, connected only at report generation.

Containerized report generation

Report generation system packaged as a self contained container on AWS, created for a single report and destroyed immediately afterward.

Scientific review as a built in control

Approval gate built into the workflow, keeping a human scientific decision between automated processing and any report a practitioner receives.

HIPAA aligned cloud, security, and audit controls

AWS and Snowflake infrastructure with encrypted storage, KMS, Secrets Manager, private workloads, least privilege access, logging, monitoring, and audit focused data controls.

The outcome

A production workflow Theriome's team can own and operate.

MatrixFlow delivered a production workflow that carries each test from practitioner order through analysis, scoring, scientific review, and secure delivery, replacing a collection of disconnected steps with one coordinated application and data architecture built around the lifecycle of a single test.

The redesigned report generation architecture also reduced the monthly infrastructure cost of that component by approximately 80 percent while creating a stronger containment boundary for sensitive personal data.

At the completion of the engagement, MatrixFlow completed a formal transition that included technical documentation, operational runbooks, knowledge transfer, credential rotation, and full application and infrastructure handoff, so Theriome's team could own and operate the system with confidence.

The project reflects MatrixFlow's broader approach to healthcare technology: understand how the operation actually works, then build the applications, data systems, automation, security, and infrastructure around that workflow.

From scattered systems to one reporting layer leadership could use.

MatrixFlow consolidated disconnected reporting inputs into a cleaner data foundation and a more usable dashboarding layer. The result was less manual reporting work, clearer metrics, and faster visibility into the business without another spreadsheet patch job.

Problem

Too many systems, too much manual reporting, and no shared operating view.

Outcome

One cleaner reporting layer, faster visibility, and metrics leadership could actually run on.

10+: software tools connected into one reporting layer
25: core metrics consolidated into a shared operating view
128 to 168: manual reporting hours saved per year
$25.2K: estimated annual savings from cleaner reporting work

Hours saved estimated from observed manual reporting workload of 2.5 to 3.2 hours per week across 52 weeks, prior to MatrixFlow's data integration. Annual value calculated using a conservative internal hourly cost rate. Numbers reflect a single client engagement and are presented for illustration only.
