2. Who can use CareGinie
You may use CareGinie if you are legally capable of entering into these Terms.
If you use CareGinie for a parent, elder, dependent adult, family member or another person, you confirm that you have appropriate consent, authority or a legitimate care relationship to create, upload, view, manage or share that person’s information.
You must not upload, store, share or process another person’s personal, medical or care-related information unless you have permission or lawful authority to do so.
3. Care Circle roles and permissions
CareGinie allows users to create or join a Care Circle. A Care Circle may include family members, adult children, caregivers, helpers, drivers, domestic support staff or other trusted people.
Access to information and actions depends on the role assigned to each person. Some users may be able to view records, manage medicines, invite members, update appointments, receive alerts or manage subscriptions.
The person who creates or administers a Care Circle is responsible for:
- Inviting only trusted people
- Assigning appropriate roles
- Removing or suspending access when needed
- Ensuring that invited members are allowed to access the relevant information
- Keeping contact details accurate
CareGinie is not responsible for misuse of information by people you invite or allow into your Care Circle.
4. Not medical advice
CareGinie does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescription, emergency care or clinical decision-making. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making medical decisions.
You must not use CareGinie to decide, change, stop, increase, decrease or replace any medicine, treatment, test, consultation or emergency care plan without consulting a qualified doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional.
5. Medicine reminders and medicine information
Medicine reminders, schedules, status tracking and related features are for convenience and care coordination only.
You are responsible for verifying:
- Medicine name
- Strength
- Dose
- Timing
- Food instructions
- Start and end dates
- Doctor or pharmacist instructions
- Any changes to medicine instructions
CareGinie may show reminders, but it cannot guarantee that reminders will always be delivered, received, seen, acted upon or correct. Delivery may be affected by internet connectivity, device settings, notification permissions, battery settings, browser restrictions, app status, service availability or user error.
CareGinie is not responsible for missed, delayed, incorrect or duplicated medicine use.
6. Prescription scanning, OCR and AI extraction
CareGinie may allow users to scan prescriptions, upload documents, extract text using OCR, and generate AI-assisted summaries or medicine suggestions.
These features can make mistakes. Images may be unclear, handwriting may be misread, medicine names may be confused, and AI outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate or misleading.
You must carefully review and confirm all extracted information before saving or acting on it.
Do not rely on OCR or AI extraction as a substitute for a doctor, pharmacist, prescription, diagnosis or professional medical advice.
7. Ask Ginie AI assistant
Ask Ginie is an AI-powered assistant that may help with summaries, explanations, reminders, document interpretation, care coordination and general support.
Ask Ginie may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for your situation. It does not know everything about a person’s medical history, current condition, allergies, drug interactions or emergency needs.
Do not use Ask Ginie for:
- Diagnosis
- Treatment decisions
- Emergency decisions
- Medicine changes
- Interpreting urgent symptoms
- Replacing a doctor, pharmacist, nurse or hospital
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical concerns.
8. Emergency and help features
CareGinie is not an emergency response service. In an emergency, contact local emergency services, a hospital, ambulance provider, doctor, or nearby trusted person immediately.
The “I need help” feature may help you call or alert Care Circle members if configured and if internet/service connectivity is available. It does not guarantee that anyone will receive, read, respond to or act on an alert.
If CareGinie is offline, app alerts may not be sent. You should call emergency services, a hospital, doctor, ambulance provider or trusted contact directly.
9. Offline Care Essentials
CareGinie may store limited information on your device for offline viewing. This may include the last synced medicine schedule, emergency contacts, preferred hospital, basic elder profile details and last synced timestamp.
Offline information may be outdated. It may not include recent changes made by doctors, family members, caregivers or other Care Circle members.
