Here's an example of what's due today

Simulated bloodwork data

Fri, Oct 16, 2026 · Week 8 · Principles of Biomedical Technology (Principles of Biomedical Science)

Today's goal: Collect and chart simulated bloodwork data over time following an SOP.

What a finished product looks like

This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.

Longitudinal bloodwork table and graph

Completes: A data table of simulated glucose and cholesterol values across several time points plus a labeled time-series line graph of one marker with the normal range band marked and one out-of-range point annotated.

Simulated glucose data for Patient A over four visits:

Month 0: 105 mg/dL
Month 3: 118 mg/dL
Month 6: 130 mg/dL
Month 9: 145 mg/dL

Graph notes: time (months) goes on the x-axis, glucose (mg/dL) on the y-axis, points connected by a line. I shaded the normal band from 70 to 99 mg/dL. Every point is above the band, and the Month 9 point (145 mg/dL) is annotated as the highest out-of-range value.

Limitation: the simulated dataset has no missing visits and no confounding variables, so it looks cleaner than real patient data.

Error source: a non-fasting draw would falsely raise a glucose reading.

Line graph of glucose rising from 105 to 145 mg/dL over four months, all points above a shaded normal band of 70 to 99 mg/dL.

Also due today: Upload the data table and graph to the tracker before leaving class.

WebXam problem for today's skill

One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.

WebXam-style domain: Biotechnology Research and ExperimentsSelf-check skill: Building and reading a time-series graph with a normal range band

On a correctly built time-series graph of a blood marker over months, what does the shaded normal range band let you do at a glance?
