Please read this carefully. By accepting, you confirm that you understand and agree to the following.

1. Educational and Wellness Purpose Only

The Asante Health Services, including all educational content, plan goals and checklists, nutrition and recovery guidance, photo-based nutrient estimates, questionnaire results, and Prep Progress, are provided for general informational, educational, and wellness purposes only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The Services do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The Services are intended for general wellness purposes and are not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. Prep Progress measures how much of your plan you have completed; it is not a medical assessment, a prediction of surgical outcome, or a clearance for surgery, and any decision about whether or when to proceed with a procedure must be made by you and your surgeon.

2. No Provider-Patient Relationship

Using the Services does not create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, dietitian-patient, or other provider-patient relationship between you and Asante Health. Asante Health does not practice medicine and does not provide clinical services.

3. Consult Your Own Clinicians

Always consult your physician, surgeon, therapist, or other qualified provider before beginning, changing, or stopping any exercise, nutrition, medication, or treatment plan, and with any questions about your health or a procedure. Do not disregard or delay professional medical advice because of anything in the Services. Do not change a treatment your provider has prescribed based on the Services without consulting your provider.

4. Emergencies

THE SERVICES ARE NOT FOR EMERGENCIES. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not rely on the Services to obtain emergency help. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or are in emotional crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

5. Prehabilitation and Physical Activity Acknowledgment

Prehabilitation may involve physical activity, exercise, and dietary changes that carry inherent risks, including injury. You acknowledge that:

•  You should obtain clearance from your surgeon or treating provider before starting any prehabilitation activity;

•  You should stop any activity and seek medical attention if you experience chest pain or pressure, pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or other warning signs;

•  Activities and guidance in the Services are general and may not be appropriate for your specific condition; and

•  You assume responsibility for performing activities safely and within your abilities and your providers’ instructions.

6. Pre-Operative Instructions

Instructions about eating and drinking before surgery (including clear fluids and fasting), which medications to take or stop, and how to prepare for your procedure come only from your surgical and anesthesia team. Checklist items in the Services are general reminders to confirm those instructions. If anything in the Services differs from what your surgical team told you, follow your surgical team.

7. Alcohol and Nicotine

If you drink alcohol daily or heavily, talk with a clinician before stopping or cutting back, because stopping suddenly can cause withdrawal that may be dangerous. Ask your care team about support for quitting nicotine.

8. Wellbeing Questionnaires

The Services include standardized questionnaires about physical function and emotional wellbeing, such as PROMIS-29 and PHQ-4. Your answers are not reviewed by a clinician in real time, and your results are not a diagnosis. If your responses suggest you may be struggling, the Services may show you support resources. Share any concerns with your care team, and if you are in crisis, follow Section 4.

9. How the AI Features Work

The Services currently use artificial intelligence for photo meal logging. When you take or upload a photo of a meal, the photo is sent to a third-party AI service provider (currently Anthropic, OpenAI), which analyzes it and returns an estimate of the meal's protein and other nutrients. Prep Progress and your plan goals are calculated from the goals you set and the activities you log using fixed rules; they are not AI predictions. AI features identify patterns in the information available to them and produce general, automated outputs. They do not have access to your complete medical record and do not exercise clinical judgment. When you use them, you are interacting with an automated system, not a human clinician. We will clearly identify any communication that comes from a human member of our team.

10. Limitations of the AI Features

You understand and agree that AI-generated outputs:

•  May be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or not appropriate for your situation;

•  May not account for important aspects of your medical history or current condition;

•  Are educational and advisory only and are not a directive to take or avoid any action; and

•  Should be independently verified with a qualified professional before you rely on them.

Nutrition Estimates. Photo-based estimates are approximate and can be wrong about portion size and ingredients. Do not use them to identify allergens, to count carbohydrates for insulin dosing, or to follow a medically prescribed diet, such as for kidney disease, diabetes, or a food allergy. Follow the nutrition guidance of your care team.

11. Human Oversight and Review

Asante Health applies human oversight and quality-assurance processes to the AI Features. Interactions may be reviewed by trained personnel for safety, quality, and improvement of the Services, consistent with our Privacy Policy. You may ask questions about an AI-assisted output and may request human review by contacting us.

12. Your Responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information, to use the Services only for yourself, to follow your providers’ instructions, and to use your own judgment together with professional advice when making decisions about your health.

13. Acknowledgment and Consent

By selecting "I Agree" (or the equivalent) in the Services, you confirm that you have read and understood this Medical Disclaimer and AI Features Consent, that you are at least 18 years old, and that you agree to use the Services on these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the preparation or AI Features.
