Anomaly Detection

Meaning

Anomaly detection is a critical clinical process involving the systematic identification of physiological data points or patterns that deviate significantly from an individual’s established homeostatic baseline or a population-level norm, often signaling subtle endocrine dysregulation. This technique moves beyond simple reference range checking to proactively flag unusual fluctuations in hormonal profiles, such such as an atypical nocturnal melatonin curve or an unexpected spike in inflammatory markers. The goal is to detect nascent functional shifts before they manifest as overt clinical disease, enabling precision preventative intervention.
