BIOS structures data. The doctor makes the decision.

BIOS does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment or replace medical care.

Updated: 24 July 2026Current stage: expert and clinical review

1. Do not use BIOS in an emergency

If there is a threat to life, severe pain, loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, signs of a stroke, a severe allergic reaction or another sudden deterioration — contact your local emergency service or the nearest healthcare facility immediately. Do not wait for a BIOS response or use the website form to request emergency assistance.

2. BIOS does not

  • make a medical diagnosis;
  • prescribe medication or treatment;
  • replace a physical examination, laboratory testing or a medical consultation;
  • guarantee disease prevention or a particular outcome;
  • confirm that no risk exists when no signal is detected;
  • provide a basis for independently stopping or changing treatment.

3. BIOS can

  • organise authorised data into a single chronological history;
  • show changes over time and possible relationships;
  • highlight contradictions and missing data;
  • help prepare questions and a next step to discuss with a professional;
  • help share authorised information with a partner clinic;
  • show a doctor the basis for review without taking over the clinical decision.

4. How to interpret a hypothesis

A BIOS hypothesis is a structured proposition to test. It contains supporting evidence, limitations, alternatives and a list of missing data. Even highly consistent data does not make it a diagnosis. New information or medical assessment may change or reject the hypothesis.

5. Data limitations

Results depend on the completeness, quality, units, dates and provenance of the source information. Medical histories are almost always incomplete. Normal values in one document do not rule out disease, and an abnormal value does not necessarily indicate disease.

Wearable, questionnaire and self-observation data has a different status from a laboratory result or a doctor's report. BIOS must not mix these categories without clear labelling.

6. The medical professional's role

A qualified professional makes clinical decisions using examination findings, patient history, diagnostic data and contraindications, with professional responsibility. A doctor may disagree with a BIOS hypothesis. That decision is recorded separately in the history.

7. Age and special circumstances

The current public use case is intended for adults. Pregnancy, childhood, acute conditions, psychiatric crises and other high-risk situations require a separate clinical and legal framework and are not automatically supported.

8. What has already been assessed

BIOS is undergoing expert and clinical review. Demonstrations show how the product is intended to work but do not in themselves establish clinical effectiveness. Assessed capabilities and limitations are published on the Science and Validation page.
