Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our AI medical assistant

What is the AI Medical Assistant?

Our AI Medical Assistant is an advanced artificial intelligence system designed to provide evidence-based information on medical topics including diseases, conditions, symptoms, treatments, medications, surgical procedures, medical specialties, anatomy, physiology, medical research, preventive medicine, and general health advice. It's built to be an educational resource for users seeking reliable medical information.

How accurate is the medical information provided?

The AI Medical Assistant is trained on a broad range of medical literature and is designed to provide accurate, evidence-based information. However, it should be used for educational purposes only and not as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider regarding specific medical conditions or treatments.

Can the AI diagnose my medical condition?

No. The AI Medical Assistant cannot diagnose medical conditions. It can provide general information about symptoms, conditions, and treatments, but cannot assess your specific situation or provide personalized medical advice. For diagnosis and treatment, you should always consult with a qualified healthcare professional.

Is my conversation with the AI private and secure?

We take privacy and security seriously. Your conversations with the AI are encrypted and handled according to our privacy policy. We do not share your personal health information with third parties without your consent. However, as with any digital service, we recommend not sharing highly sensitive personal information.

What types of medical topics can I ask about?

You can ask about a wide range of medical topics including diseases, conditions, symptoms, treatments, medications, surgical procedures, medical specialties, anatomy, physiology, medical research, preventive medicine, and general health advice. The AI is designed to be helpful across the broad domain of medical knowledge.

Will the AI answer non-medical questions?

No. The AI Medical Assistant is specifically designed to address medical and health-related topics. It will politely decline to answer questions that are clearly not related to medicine or healthcare, and will remind you that it can only assist with medical and health-related topics.

How should I frame my questions to get the best information?

For the most helpful responses, be specific with your questions and provide context when needed. For example, instead of asking 'What about diabetes?', you might ask 'What are the common symptoms of Type 2 diabetes?' or 'How is Type 1 diabetes typically treated?' Clear, focused questions will result in more useful information.

What if the AI gives incorrect information?

While the AI strives for accuracy, it may occasionally provide information that is incomplete or not fully up-to-date. Always verify important medical information with credible sources and healthcare professionals. If you notice incorrect information, we appreciate your feedback to help improve the system.

Can I use this AI instead of seeing a doctor?

Absolutely not. The AI Medical Assistant is an educational tool only and is not a substitute for professional medical care. It cannot examine you, consider your full medical history, or provide personalized medical advice. Always consult with qualified healthcare providers for medical concerns.

Is there a limit to how many questions I can ask?

Depending on your subscription plan, there may be limits to the number of questions you can ask within a certain time period. Refer to your plan details for specific information about usage limits.

How up-to-date is the medical information?

The AI's knowledge has a training cutoff date, after which it does not have information about new medical developments, research, or treatments. For the most current information, especially regarding recent medical advances or public health situations, consult the latest medical literature or healthcare professionals.

Can I use the information for academic or research purposes?

The information provided is intended for general educational purposes. If you're using it for academic or research purposes, we recommend verifying all information with primary sources and following proper citation practices for your field. Remember that the AI summarizes existing knowledge and does not generate original research.
