Safety

Know what MedGuard can—and cannot—tell you.

Safety is not a footer disclaimer. It shapes how the product labels evidence, handles uncertainty and routes urgent situations.

Medical emergency?

If someone may be in immediate danger, call Nigeria’s national emergency number 112 and seek urgent medical care. Do not wait for MedGuard or a chatbot response.

MedGuard is an awareness tool

It does not diagnose disease, confirm that a person is ill, prescribe medication, replace clinical examination or guarantee that an area is safe.

Evidence language matters

Verified report

An attributable official report relevant to a location. It remains linked to its publisher and should still be read in its original context.

Projection or risk estimate

A modelled outlook based on available signals. It is not an outbreak confirmation and may be incomplete or wrong. Confidence, generation time and validity should accompany the estimate.

Environmental context

Weather and air quality may support general awareness, but weather alone is not shown as proof of a particular disease.

Personal signals have limits

Check-in summaries reflect information a user chose to record. They are not medical assessments. Persistent, severe or worsening symptoms need professional evaluation.

Official sources, not endorsements

MedGuard may reference public information from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. Neither reference implies a partnership, approval or endorsement.

When in doubt: choose professional medical care over an app estimate.
