How lab share is defined
We take each package's tests that are on our shared test list and count those whose category is one of: Blood Count, Liver Function, Kidney & Electrolytes, Lipids & Cardiometabolic, Glucose, Thyroid & Endocrine, Tumor Markers, Infection Serology, Urine & Stool. Lab share is that count divided by all of the package's tests on the shared list. Imaging, vitals, heart and lung function tests, endoscopy and consultations do not count as lab tests. Test counts depend on how a hospital itemizes (one panel may be one line or many), and Function Health's "160+" counts its own way, so the two numbers are not directly comparable.
Limits
- Function Health is a membership with repeat testing and clinician review; a Taiwan package is a single visit. Their contents and price bases differ, which is why the table shows them in separate columns.
- Reading the results, follow-up and what a result means are outside this comparison.
- The Function Health price and contents are as shown on its public page on 2026-11-07; they may change.
