PDI-Med Terms of Service

These Terms define the boundaries of responsibility, authority, and trust between PDI-Med and its users. They minimize misuse, misinterpretation, and drift. By using PDI-Med, you agree to the constraints that protect physicians and patients.

• Licensed physicians and physicians in training.
• Clinicians acting within scope of practice.
• Other users explicitly authorized by PDI-Med.

Not intended for direct patient use, payor surveillance, employer monitoring, or third-party adjudication.

• PDI-Med provides cognitive support, documentation assistance, de-identified pattern synthesis, and federated aggregate insight.
• PDI-Med does not provide medical advice, prescriptive orders, legal determinations, or standards-of-care declarations.

You remain the sole decision-maker for all clinical actions.

• You retain full responsibility for patient care.
• AI outputs are informational, not directives.
• PDI-Med does not replace clinical judgment or establish a physician-patient relationship.

PDI-Med assists thinking; it does not automate responsibility.

• PDI-Med does not require PHI to function; PHI is not intentionally transmitted to PDI servers.
• Only de-identified outputs are intended to persist server-side.
• You are responsible for your institutional policies and HIPAA obligations; PDI-Med does not act as a Business Associate under normal operation.

• Outputs are not patient records; they are irreversible abstractions.
• PDI-Med cannot re-identify or “re-patientize” these artifacts.
• Once integrated into aggregate systems, removal may not be possible without corrupting collective validity.

• You safeguard credentials; PDI-Med does not possess your decryption keys.
• Loss of access may require remapping, not recovery.
• Identity verification and remapping can occur without PHI access.

• No re-identification attempts of synthetic or aggregate data.
• No manipulation of uploads to distort federated insight.
• No automated submissions to create false consensus.
• No credential sharing or reverse engineering of safeguards.
• No surveillance, ranking, or punitive analysis.

PDI-Med polices platform integrity, not clinical judgment.

Access may be suspended when platform integrity or security boundaries are threatened or good-faith use cannot be assumed.

• Notice, clarification, and proportional remedies when feasible.
• Emergency suspension if necessary to prevent harm.

PDI-Med does not guarantee clinical outcomes, reduced litigation, documentation sufficiency, or institutional acceptance. Value depends on thoughtful, responsible use.

Terms may evolve but will not regress on privacy architecture, physician autonomy, or non-punitive design. Material changes will be posted transparently.

PDI-Med exists to help physicians think more clearly and practice more safely without turning medicine into a monitored game. If that ever changes, these Terms should be treated as broken.
