Important: Please Read Carefully

GutScout is an educational tool designed to help you track and understand your digestive health patterns. It is NOT a medical device and should NOT be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

1. Not a Medical Device

GutScout is an educational and informational tool only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The AI analysis provided by GutScout is based on the Bristol Stool Chart, a widely recognized medical reference tool, but the app itself has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA or any other medical regulatory body.

2. Always Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you have any concerns about your digestive health, experience persistent symptoms, or notice any changes in your bowel movements, you should consult with a qualified healthcare provider immediately. Do not rely solely on GutScout for medical decisions.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Blood in your stool
  • Persistent diarrhea or constipation
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fever or signs of infection

3. AI Limitations

While our AI technology is designed to provide consistent analysis based on the Bristol Stool Chart, it has limitations:

  • AI analysis may not be 100% accurate in all cases
  • Photo quality, lighting, and other factors can affect results
  • The app cannot detect underlying medical conditions
  • Results should be used for educational purposes and pattern tracking only

4. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using GutScout does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and GutScout, its developers, or any healthcare professionals. The information provided through the app is general in nature and does not constitute personalized medical advice.

5. Educational Purpose Only

GutScout is designed to help you:

  • Learn about the Bristol Stool Chart
  • Track your digestive health patterns over time
  • Identify potential correlations with diet and lifestyle
  • Have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider

The app is a tool to support your health journey, not replace professional medical care.

6. Use at Your Own Risk

By using GutScout, you acknowledge and agree that you use the app at your own risk. GutScout and its developers are not liable for any decisions you make based on information provided by the app. Always verify any health-related information with a qualified healthcare professional.

7. Emergency Situations

GutScout is not designed for use in emergency situations. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately (911 in the United States) or go to the nearest emergency room.

8. Questions or Concerns
