Abstract: A computer-implemented method of diagnosis of a patient comprises comparing a marker-print of a patient, wherein the marker-print comprises an N-value vector with each value in the vector indicative of a state of a biological marker of the patient, against a compendium of reference marker-prints, each reference marker-print having an associated biological condition, the reference marker-prints being stored in a marker-print database, to determine at least one reference marker-print having at least one matching value with the patient marker print. The method may comprise calculating, by a confidence module of the computer processor, a level of similarity between the patient marker-print and the at least one determined reference marker-print with the at least one matching value, thereby to provide an indication of a confidence level that the patient has the biological condition associated with the at least one determined reference marker-print having the at least one matching value.
