'''What Loopa does with medical information, and the four things it will never do.'''
== What Loopa does ==
Loopa is a general wellness product. In this part of the app, it does three things.
'''It shows you what published clinical guidelines say''', quoted, with the source named and a link you can open. Every claim on every screen has one behind it, and the Sources sheet is one tap from anywhere.
'''It records what you tell it''' — your stage, your supplements, your symptoms, which foods sit well — and shows it back to you.
'''It organises that into something you can hand over''': a summary for your next appointment, in the order the person reading it will want.
== The four things it will never do ==
'''It will never decide whether a procedure is right for you.''' It does not calculate eligibility, does not score you against a threshold, and does not tell you to have an operation. It shows you what the published indications say, so you can take them into a conversation.
'''It will never recommend one procedure over another.''' There is no ranking in it, and no per-procedure outcome figure, because a number attached to an operation reads like a promise.
'''It will never set a dose.''' Not for a prescription, not for an anaesthetic pause, not for a taper. The only amounts in this feature are nutrient amounts, and every one is quoted from a published supplement guideline with its source attached.
'''It will never tell you what is wrong with you.''' Loopa does not read your logs and conclude you are having a complication. The red-flag card is shown to everybody, all the time, in the same place — precisely so that seeing it is never something the app decided about you.
== Where a source could not be verified ==
Every claim in this section had its source fetched and read before it was written down. Where a document could not be obtained, '''the claim is not made''' — you will find at least one page here that says so in as many words rather than citing something nobody checked.
== Not a medical device ==
Loopa is not a medical device, is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and has not been reviewed by the FDA, the EMA, Health Canada, the MHRA or any other regulator.
'''This part of the app is for adults.''' It carries no guidance for children or adolescents.
== Your care team outranks all of it ==
Where your care team has given you an instruction, follow theirs. Where they send their protocol into Loopa, theirs replaces what the app was showing and the screen says so. That order never reverses.
