Medical disclaimer
Last updated: July 11, 2026
Salus is built around one honest promise: it helps you decide what to do next about a symptom — it never tells you what you have. This page spells that out plainly.
Salus is not a doctor
Salus does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It suggests a level of care — from self-care at home to seeking emergency help — based on the answers you give, along with plain-language reasoning. That suggestion is informational. It is not a substitute for the judgment of a qualified clinician who can examine you, and using Salus does not create a doctor–patient relationship.
Always err toward real care
If you are worried, see a clinician — even if Salus suggested a lower level of care. Never delay seeking professional medical advice, or disregard advice you have received, because of something you read on this site or in the app.
Not for emergencies
Salus is not for emergencies. If you think you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately. If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) — support is available 24/7.
About the information shown
Explanations of conditions, lab values, and screening schedules shown by Salus are general educational information. They may not account for your personal medical history, and they can lag behind current clinical guidance. Bring questions to your clinician — Salus is designed to help you prepare for that conversation, never to replace it.
