The information and advice on the apps are put together by specialists within the NHS, so it is as accurate as possible. However, the apps are there to support you, and not to act specifically as a medical tool. The content within the Apps are provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should solely rely. Always seek advice from your healthcare practitioner

The apps do not account for any other condition that you may have. You must always consider this before taking any action based on the advice given in the app. The app is not a medical tool, and you should always consult your medical provider for the most up to date information based on your individual condition.

Yes. Our apps are a Class I medical device and is compliant with the applicable MDR standards. Class I devices are the lowest risk medical devices as they do not come into contact with human skin, nor do they modify any biological composition. They are non-measuring Class I devices as the apps do not measure any physiological parameter, only storing data measured using another device and displaying trends of these parameters.
