DEDOC is not a substitute for a doctor
DEDOC's AI Health Assistant and offline triage engine provide general health information and guidance to help you understand possible causes of your symptoms and how urgently you may need care. They do not diagnose disease, prescribe medication, or replace examination, testing, or treatment by a licensed health professional.
Always seek professional care
If you are experiencing a medical emergency — including but not limited to difficulty breathing, chest pain, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, seizures, or severe injury — go to the nearest hospital or call your local emergency number immediately. Do not wait for or rely on a response from DEDOC.
Always confirm any assessment from DEDOC with a qualified doctor, nurse, or other licensed health worker, particularly before starting, stopping, or changing any medication or treatment.
Limitations of AI-generated guidance
Responses from the AI Health Assistant are generated by third-party large language models (currently Google Gemini, with DeepSeek as a fallback) and, when neither is reachable, a rule-based offline engine built into DEDOC. Both can be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Health information changes, and no automated system can account for every individual circumstance, condition interaction, or local disease pattern.
No medication guarantee
DEDOC deliberately avoids recommending prescription-only medicines by name and dosage. Where general guidance mentions common over-the-counter measures (such as paracetamol or oral rehydration salts), you remain responsible for checking the dose is appropriate for the patient's age, weight, allergies, and pregnancy status, ideally by asking a pharmacist or health worker.
No liability
OmniPower Innovation and its affiliates are not liable for any decision made, or harm suffered, as a result of relying solely on information provided through DEDOC in place of professional medical advice. Use of DEDOC constitutes acceptance of this disclaimer.
