2. Nature of the Toolkit

2.1 Educational and Informational Purpose: The Toolkit is provided strictly for educational, informational, and research purposes. It is designed for use by medical professionals, students, researchers, and health enthusiasts to enhance their understanding of medical concepts, processes, and data analysis. The Toolkit is not intended to replace professional medical judgment, diagnosis, or treatment.

2.2 Not Medical Advice: The Toolkit, including all its components, features, and outputs, does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. It should never be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The information provided by the Toolkit is not intended to be a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

2.3 No Doctor-Patient Relationship: Use of the Toolkit does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and LAC Health LLC, its affiliates, employees, contractors, or any other individuals involved in the development, maintenance, or operation of the Toolkit. Users should always consult with their healthcare providers regarding any medical conditions, treatments, or health-related decisions.

2.4 AI and Machine Learning Disclosure: The Toolkit incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to analyze data and generate outputs. These technologies are continuously evolving and may produce results that are not always accurate or complete. Users must exercise caution and professional judgment when interpreting and applying any information or suggestions provided by the Toolkit.

2.5 No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness: While we strive to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided through the Toolkit, we make no warranties or representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Toolkit’s content, software, text, graphics, links, or communications provided by or through the use of the Toolkit.

2.6 Continuous Development: The Toolkit is under continuous development and may contain errors, bugs, or inaccuracies. We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove any part of the Toolkit without notice.

3. Toolkit Description and Limitations

3.1 Symptom Checker
a) Purpose: The Symptom Checker provides probability estimates for potential conditions based on input symptoms. It uses AI and ML algorithms to analyze user-provided information and compare it against a database of medical knowledge.
b) Limitations: The probability estimates provided by the Symptom Checker are for educational purposes only and should not be considered diagnostic. The tool may not account for all possible conditions, comorbidities, or individual patient factors. The accuracy of the results depends on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by the user.
c) AI/ML Disclosure: The Symptom Checker utilizes machine learning models trained on large datasets of medical information. These models are updated periodically but may not reflect the most recent medical discoveries or rare conditions.
d) No Diagnostic Claims: LAC Health makes no claims regarding the diagnostic accuracy or clinical validity of the Symptom Checker. It is not intended to be used for self-diagnosis or treatment selection.

3.2 Lab Document Analyzer
a) Purpose: This tool provides a summary and interpretation of findings from blood tests and other lab documents. It uses natural language processing and machine learning techniques to extract and analyze information from uploaded lab reports.
b) Limitations: The analysis is based on general medical knowledge and may not account for individual patient factors, rare conditions, or specific clinical contexts. The tool’s accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of the uploaded documents.
c) AI/ML Disclosure: The Lab Document Analyzer employs AI models trained on a diverse set of lab reports. However, it may not recognize or correctly interpret non-standard report formats or rare test results.
d) No Replacement for Professional Review: This tool is not a substitute for a healthcare professional’s review and interpretation of lab results. Users should always consult with their healthcare providers to understand their lab results in the context of their overall health.

3.3 Drug Interaction Checker
a) Purpose: This tool shows potential interactions between multiple drugs. It uses a comprehensive database of drug information and AI algorithms to identify and classify potential interactions.
b) Limitations: While comprehensive, the Drug Interaction Checker may not include all possible interactions, especially for newly approved drugs or rare combinations. It does not account for individual patient factors such as age, weight, gender, or medical history.
c) AI/ML Disclosure: The interaction checking algorithm uses machine learning to continuously update its knowledge base from scientific literature. However, there may be a lag between the publication of new drug interaction information and its incorporation into the tool.
d) Professional Consultation Required: The information provided by this tool should not replace consultation with a healthcare provider or pharmacist. Users should not make decisions about their medication regimen based solely on the output of this tool.

3.4 Health Report
a) Purpose: This tool generates a one-page summary of personal health information, including insurance details, previous medical conditions, allergies, emergency contact information, physical characteristics, and other relevant health data.
b) Limitations: The accuracy and completeness of the report depend entirely on the information input by the user. The tool does not verify the accuracy of the information provided.
c) AI/ML Disclosure: While the Health Report tool uses AI to organize and format the information, it does not generate or infer any health information beyond what is explicitly provided by the user.
d) Data Privacy: Users are strongly advised not to include sensitive personal information or PHI in their Health Report unless absolutely necessary. LAC Health cannot guarantee the privacy or security of information once it is downloaded or printed by the user.

3.5 General Toolkit Limitations
a) Internet Connectivity: The Toolkit requires a stable internet connection to function properly. LAC Health is not responsible for any errors, inaccuracies, or inability to use the Toolkit resulting from poor internet connectivity.
b) Browser Compatibility: The Toolkit is designed to work with modern web browsers. LAC Health does not guarantee compatibility with all browser versions or mobile devices.
c) Data Input Limitations: The accuracy and usefulness of the Toolkit’s outputs are directly dependent on the quality and accuracy of the data input by users. Incorrect or incomplete data may lead to inaccurate or misleading results.
d) Language Limitations: The Toolkit is primarily designed for English language inputs and outputs. It may not accurately process or interpret information in other languages.
e) Geographic Limitations: The medical information and drug data used in the Toolkit may be biased towards practices and medications common in the United States. Users from other countries should be aware that some information may not be applicable to their local healthcare systems or available treatments.
