They provide a direct snapshot of the user’s current state at that moment in time. IntelliProve currently provides five biomarker widgets, each representing a physiological signal measured during the Face Scan. :::hint{type="info"} A detailed overview of each Biomarker can be found in the [Health Insights](docId\:yEqwSkx81EJu_Z8N3DjhY) documentation. ::: # Structure of a biomarker widget A biomarker widget is designed as a compact, easy-to-embed tile that presents one measured physiological indicator in a clear and accessible way. :::Iframe{iframeHeight="0" code=""} ::: Each biomarker widget typically contains the following elements. - Biomarker name - Value and unit - Indication of evolution w\.r.t. the previous Scan # Biomarkers versus metrics Biomarkers and metrics serve different purposes in the IntelliProve experience. **Biomarkers** are: - objective measurements - based on a single Face Scan - focused on one physiological signal **Metrics** are: - interpreted health insights - based on multiple scans over time - enriched with contextual or questionnaire data - meant to provide a broader understanding of a user’s health and well-being In practice, biomarker widgets are useful when you want to show the building blocks of the result, while metric widgets are more suitable when you want to present a higher-level interpretation such as stress, sleep quality, or general fitness. ## When to use biomarker widgets Biomarker widgets are particularly useful when: - you want to surface one specific result directly after a scan - you are building your own results page and need small, modular UI components - you want to combine an objective measurement like heart rate or HRV with a specific exercise or module in your platform related to that biomarker. :::hint{type="success"} [→ Integrate the Biomarker Widget](docId\:LhvVFIoT74uXdg5ZBkinY) :::
