Health Disclaimer

Important: LabEase is not a medical service. It does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on LabEase.

1. Educational purpose only

LabEase is an educational health literacy tool. Its sole purpose is to help users understand the general meaning of common laboratory test terminology, markers, and reference ranges in plain language.

All content generated by LabEase — whether from its AI engine or its static pages — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

2. Not a substitute for professional care

Always seek the advice of a qualified physician, specialist, or other licensed healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding:

A medical condition or symptom
The interpretation of your specific lab results
Any treatment, medication, or health decision

Your doctor ordered your tests in the context of your full medical history, symptoms, and clinical picture. An AI tool cannot replicate this clinical judgment.

3. AI limitations

LabEase uses an AI language model (Claude, by Anthropic) to generate explanations. AI systems can:

Make factual errors or "hallucinate" plausible-sounding but incorrect information
Apply general reference ranges that may not match the lab that produced your report
Miss context that would be apparent to a human clinician
Be unaware of your individual medical history, medications, or risk factors

Reference ranges on your lab report (the numbers in brackets) come from your specific laboratory and its equipment. These may differ from general population ranges used in AI explanations. Always use the ranges printed on your own report.

4. Emergencies

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services immediately (112 in Italy and the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the USA). Do not use LabEase to determine whether something is an emergency.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LabEase, its operators, contributors, and AI providers disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, content generated by this service.

By using LabEase, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these limitations.

6. Regulatory note (Italy)

LabEase is not registered as a medical device under EU Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) or as a software medical device (SaMD). It does not perform diagnostic functions. It is classified as a general-purpose AI educational tool.
