Purpose
This disclaimer clarifies the intended use of content published on TICH and the limitations of online health information.
Scope
The disclaimer applies to all articles, summaries, reference entries, AI-assisted responses, and tools available on the platform.
Educational purpose
Content is intended to support understanding of health, disease, medication, and public health concepts. It is not designed to direct individual clinical care.
Not a substitute for clinical advice
- Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis, treatment, or medication decisions.
- Do not delay seeking professional advice because of something you have read on TICH.
- In emergencies, contact local emergency services or the nearest health facility.
Evolving medical evidence
Medical knowledge changes over time. Even carefully reviewed content can become outdated as new evidence, guidelines, or regulatory decisions emerge. Readers should consider the publication or last-updated date and verify time-sensitive information through current clinical sources.
AI-assisted content
Where AI tools support drafting, summarization, or retrieval on TICH, outputs are subject to editorial oversight. AI-generated responses should be treated as informational starting points, not as clinical recommendations.
Limitations
TICH does not provide individualized medical care, prescriptions, or formal second opinions. Reliance on any information from the platform is at the reader's own responsibility, in line with applicable laws and professional standards.
