Is this course giving medical advice or replacing my doctor?

No. This course does not give medical advice and does not replace your doctor or nurse. It simply shows you how to use AI to get organized before a visit, so you can share clearer information and ask better questions during your real appointment.

Is it safe to talk about my health with AI?

You should be careful about what you share. The course teaches you to leave out full names, ID numbers, and other sensitive details. You will learn how to copy only short phrases or symptom lists, not whole medical records, and how to use AI mainly for organizing and simplifying, not diagnosing.

Do I need to be “good with technology” to use this?

No. If you can type a little or use voice typing on a phone, tablet, or computer, you can follow this course. The lessons use short, copy-and-paste prompts and simple worksheets to guide you step by step.

What if I do not have a printer?

A printer is helpful but not required. You can write your summary by hand on paper, save it in a notes app, or email it to yourself. The one-page summary template works as a guide, whether you print it or copy the ideas onto your own page.

When should I stop using AI and call a doctor or 911?

If you have sudden or severe symptoms (such as chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, or anything that feels like an emergency), you should call 911 or your local emergency number right away. For new or worrying health problems, call your doctor or nurse. AI is only for organizing your thoughts before a visit, not for deciding what is wrong or what treatment you need.
