1. Nature of the App
- The App is a tool for recording personal and family health information, developed and maintained by an independent developer. We are not a medical institution, an internet-based medical service platform, a medical device, or medical software, and we employ no licensed physicians or healthcare professionals.
- The App’s functions are limited to storing, organizing, and displaying health-related information voluntarily entered by the user (such as symptoms, conditions, examinations, medications, visits, and prenatal checkups) in a structured way, together with auxiliary features such as local reminders.
- The App holds no medical device registration or healthcare qualification of any kind. Its content and output (including reference ranges, preset metrics, and category labels) do not constitute diagnosis, treatment, medication advice, or any form of medical opinion.
2. Statement on Non-Medical Advice (Important)
- The App provides no advice, hints, or inferences regarding the user’s symptoms, conditions, medications, examination results, or similar data. Condition presets, metric categories, reference ranges, “at-home recommended” values, and similar content shown in the App are drawn from publicly available, widely used guidelines; they serve only as display references for entering and organizing data, do not address any individual situation, and must not be read as normal/abnormal judgments or assessments of health status.
- All transitions of data states (such as severity levels, on-target status, enabling or disabling of plans, and creation, modification, or deletion of records) are updated and edited by the user. The App makes no automatic judgment about, or change to, any health status.
- Any health decision (including seeking care, taking or stopping medication, adjusting dosage, or choosing a treatment plan) must be based on the judgment of a qualified physician. Never make a health decision based solely on any data recorded or displayed in the App; in an emergency, seek medical care immediately or call emergency services.
- We are responsible only for storing the user’s data and presenting it back in a structured way. The accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of entered content are the user’s own responsibility; we accept no liability for any consequences arising from entry errors, omissions, or misreading of the data.
3. Other Limitations of Liability
- The reminder feature relies on iOS local notifications. Notifications may be delayed or fail to fire due to system permission settings, a powered-off device, system resource cleanup, time-zone changes, and similar causes. Reminders are not a guarantee of medication adherence; do not rely entirely on the App’s notifications for important treatment schedules.
- The risk of data loss is borne by the user: uninstalling the App, resetting the device to factory settings, keeping backups disabled, or system failures may all permanently destroy local data. We recommend exporting important files regularly and safeguarding backups yourself. We cannot recover data lost for these reasons and accept no liability for such loss.
- The App is provided “as is”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no express or implied warranties as to the App’s fitness for any purpose, freedom from errors, or uninterrupted operation, and we accept no liability for any direct or indirect losses arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the App.
- Use by minors: creating profiles and entering data for a minor should be performed by the minor’s guardian, who bears legal responsibility for the related data.
- App updates and changes to these terms: we may adjust features and these terms with version updates. Changes will be announced within the App or in the documentation; continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will make reasonable efforts to highlight material changes.
- These terms are governed by the applicable law of the user’s location. If any individual provision of these terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
4. Our Obligations
- Our obligation in developing and operating the App is to faithfully help the user record the data the user voluntarily provides, and to keep that data on the user’s own device.
- Any medical judgment, advice, or assurance beyond this is outside the scope of the App’s services.
If you have questions about these terms, please contact the developer through the App’s distribution channel.
