1. A computer-implemented method of analyzing medical data, comprising:
- compiling, via a processor of a diagnostic device, a collection of historical test data points from a plurality of population types;
correlating, via the processor, each historical test data point with a population type to produce entries of a diagnostic case history;
grouping, via the processor, the entries of the diagnostic case history by population type;
defining, via the processor, a range corresponding to the population type of a patient based on the collection of test data points of the entries of the diagnostic case history grouped by population type; and
diagnosing, via the processor, a disease condition of the patient based on the range corresponding to the disease condition for the population type.
