AI Doctor Disclaimer and Service Limitations
Not a Replacement for Emergency Care
Our AI doctor is not intended for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately or go to your nearest emergency room. Do not rely on Doctronic for urgent, life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical intervention.
Scope of AI Medical Consultation
While our AI draws on the latest peer-reviewed medical research and comprehensive clinical guidelines, it provides educational information and preliminary assessments. The AI doctor's recommendations should be considered as supportive information to discuss with licensed healthcare providers, not as definitive medical diagnoses.
AI Diagnosis Process Limitations
- AI assessments are based on information you provide and may not account for all relevant factors
- Physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging may be necessary for accurate diagnosis
- Complex medical conditions may require specialist evaluation beyond AI capabilities
- Rare conditions or unusual presentations may not be fully addressed by AI analysis
Telehealth Medical Disclaimer
Licensed Physician Oversight
When you connect with our licensed human doctors, you're receiving care from board-certified physicians licensed in your state. These consultations follow standard telehealth practices and are subject to the same professional standards as in-person visits, within the limitations of virtual care.
Telehealth Service Limitations
Virtual consultations have inherent limitations compared to in-person visits:
- Physical examination is limited to what can be observed visually
- Certain diagnostic procedures cannot be performed remotely
- Technology issues may affect the quality of consultation
- Some conditions require hands-on evaluation by a healthcare provider
Healthcare Service Disclaimer
Individual Medical Advice
Every person's health situation is unique. While our AI doctor remembers your medical history and tailors recommendations accordingly, individual factors such as genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and other health conditions may influence the appropriateness of any recommendations.
Medication and Treatment Recommendations
Our AI doctor can provide information about medications and treatments, but:
- Prescription medications require evaluation by a licensed physician
- Drug interactions and allergies must be carefully considered
- Dosing recommendations should be verified with healthcare providers
- Over-the-counter medications can have contraindications
Medical AI Limitations and Accuracy
Technology Boundaries
Despite our advanced AI technology, including proprietary clinical guidelines, custom fine-tuning, and comprehensive knowledge systems, artificial intelligence has inherent limitations:
- AI recommendations are based on available data and algorithms
- Unusual or rare presentations may not be accurately identified
- Clinical judgment and human intuition remain essential in healthcare
- Technology updates may affect system performance
Continuous Improvement
We continuously update our AI doctor with the latest medical research and clinical guidelines. However, medicine is constantly evolving, and there may be delays between new research publication and integration into our system.
