- Do NOT rely on Swasth for emergency medical situations
- Do NOT wait to use the app before seeking emergency care
If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor, go to the emergency department, or call emergency services immediately. Swasth is not designed to handle medical emergencies.
5. AI and Automated Features
Swasth uses artificial intelligence and algorithms to provide:
- Health insights and recommendations
- Nutrition analysis
- Meal planning suggestions
- Anomaly detection and alerts
These AI features have significant limitations:
- AI cannot replace clinical judgment
- Recommendations may not account for your complete medical history
- AI models can produce inaccurate or inappropriate suggestions
- AI is not trained on your specific medical conditions
- AI cannot perform physical examinations or order tests
Always verify AI-generated information with qualified healthcare providers before making health decisions.
6. Symptom Checker Disclaimer
The Swasth symptom checker provides symptom insights using rule-based pattern matching to suggest possible conditions based on the symptoms you report. It is important to understand:
- This is NOT medical diagnosis — the symptom checker provides educational insights only, not clinical diagnoses
- The symptom checker is NOT an AI diagnostic tool — it uses pre-defined rules to match symptom patterns
- Results are informational suggestions that require professional medical evaluation
- The symptom checker cannot account for your full medical history, physical examination findings, or lab results
- Emergency pattern detection (e.g., chest pain combinations) is informational only — always call emergency services if you suspect a medical emergency
- Self-assessment questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7) are screening tools for personal awareness, not clinical evaluations or diagnostic instruments
- Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for proper medical diagnosis and treatment
The symptom checker provides insights to help you understand your symptoms better. Only a licensed medical professional can provide an actual diagnosis after examining you.
7. Recovery & Rehabilitation Disclaimer
7.1 Condition & Consumption Recovery
Swasth provides tools for tracking substance use, quit dates, cravings, relapses, and recovery milestones. These features are personal tracking tools only:

- Craving management strategies are informational and not prescribed interventions
- If you are struggling with substance dependence, seek professional help from qualified addiction specialists, counselors, or medical professionals
- Money saved calculations are estimates for motivational purposes only
7.2 Injury Recovery
Injury recovery features provide general phase-based rehabilitation guidelines:
- Recovery timelines are general estimates and vary significantly by individual
- Phase transitions (acute, early healing, strengthening, return to activity) are guidelines, not medical determinations
- Always follow your treating physician's or physiotherapist's specific instructions
- RICE protocol information is general first-aid guidance, not a treatment plan
7.3 Surgery Recovery
Surgery recovery features help track post-operative progress:
- Post-surgical recovery protocols shown are general guidelines
- Always follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions

8. Traditional & Alternative Wellness
8.1 Ayurveda Features
Swasth provides features based on Ayurvedic traditions including dosha assessments, herb information, dinacharya (daily routines), and seasonal guidelines:
- Ayurveda features provide traditional wellness information, not evidence-based medical treatment
- Dosha assessments are educational and exploratory — they are not medical diagnoses

- Dinacharya routines are lifestyle suggestions based on traditional practices
- Seasonal wellness guidelines are informational and may not apply to all individuals
- Traditional wellness practices should complement, not replace, evidence-based medical care
9. Beauty & Dermatological Tracking
Swasth provides features for tracking skin and hair conditions, product usage, and beauty routines:

- Skin and hair condition tracking is not a substitute for professional dermatological evaluation
- If you experience adverse reactions to products, seek professional medical attention immediately
- Product recommendations or contraindication flags are informational, not medical prescriptions
10. Contraindication Safety System
Swasth includes a contraindication engine that flags potential safety concerns based on your health context (medical conditions, pregnancy, injuries, surgeries, disabilities):
- Contraindication flags provide general safety information based on pre-computed rules
- Pre-computed markings are derived from general medical guidelines, not personalized medical assessments
- The system may not account for all possible interactions or individual circumstances
- Always verify safety flags with your healthcare provider before making decisions about exercises, foods, or activities
- The absence of a contraindication flag does not mean an activity is safe for you specifically
11. Health Tracking Accuracy
Health metrics you enter or that are synced from devices (weight, blood pressure, heart rate, etc.) are for personal tracking only. These readings:
- May not be clinically accurate
- Should not be used for medical diagnosis
- May vary from professional clinical measurements
- Depend on proper user input and device calibration
12. Mental Health Disclaimer
Swasth provides mental health tracking features including mood logging, self-reflection questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7), and wellness content. These questionnaires are provided as self-reflection tools for personal awareness and wellbeing tracking — they are not clinical screening or diagnostic instruments.
These features are NOT a substitute for professional mental health care.
