Skills Library Disclaimer

Read this in full before using any skill in this library.

1. For licensed healthcare professionals only

The skills in this library are written for licensed healthcare professionals (physicians, naturopathic doctors, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and other credentialed clinicians) acting within their scope of practice and applicable law. They are not intended for use by patients or the general public, and they must not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.

2. Decision support — not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment

These skills produce supportive analysis for clinician review. They do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and their outputs are not medical advice. Every output must be independently reviewed, verified against source data, and accepted, modified, or rejected by the treating clinician, who retains full and sole responsibility for all clinical decisions. AI systems make mistakes: they can misread values, miss context, and state incorrect information with confidence. Never act on an AI-generated interpretation without verifying it against the original report and the patient in front of you.

3. Functional and optimal ranges

Many skills in this library reference "functional" or "optimal" ranges used in integrative and functional medicine practice. These ranges differ from — and are typically narrower than — the standard laboratory reference intervals validated by the performing laboratory. They are not universally accepted by conventional medicine, are not a standard of care, and vary between practitioners and populations. Skills present them alongside standard ranges as a lens for clinical consideration, not as a replacement for the laboratory's validated interval. Apply the standards appropriate to your license, jurisdiction, and patient.

4. Data privacy, HIPAA, and your obligations

You are solely responsible for how patient data is handled when you run these skills.

  • Protected health information (PHI) may only be processed on platforms with which you (or your organization) have appropriate safeguards in place — under HIPAA in the US, that generally means an executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), plus your own policies and patient consents.
  • Meelio (meelio.ai) is built for HIPAA compliance and offers BAAs to covered entities (contact [email protected]). Skills there run against the patient record inside that compliance boundary.
  • Consumer and standard team plans of ChatGPT and Claude are not HIPAA compliant and do not include a BAA. On those platforms, use fully de-identified data only. Enterprise agreements with OpenAI or Anthropic may include a BAA — verify your organization's specific contract before assuming coverage.
  • De-identification under the HIPAA Safe Harbor method requires removal of all 18 identifiers — including names, all dates more specific than year, ages over 89, geographic subdivisions smaller than a state, MRNs, and account numbers — not merely the patient's name.
  • Equivalent obligations may apply under GDPR, PIPEDA, and state privacy laws. Compliance is your responsibility, not the skill author's.

5. No clinician–patient relationship; no warranty

Use of these skills creates no clinician–patient relationship with the skill authors, contributors, or Meelio. The skills are provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors, contributors, and Meelio disclaim all liability arising from the use of, or reliance on, these skills or their outputs.

6. Currency of content

Clinical knowledge, laboratory methodologies, and reference ranges change. Skills carry a version and were accurate to the best of the author's knowledge at the time of writing, but may become outdated. Check the skill's version history and apply current evidence and guidelines.

7. Emergencies and red flags

These skills are not for emergency use. Where a skill lists "red flags" or referral triggers, those lists are illustrative, not exhaustive. Any concerning clinical picture warrants appropriate urgent evaluation regardless of what a skill output says.
