Medical Disclaimer

Effective date: September 18, 2026 — applies to the Shrinkhala app and this website.

Not a medical device

Shrinkhala is a health record–keeping and information tool, developed and operated as a CSR initiative by Doctors For You (DFY). It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

AI-generated content

Risk scores, correlations, health trends, and any values extracted from photos of reports, prescriptions, or home blood pressure / glucose monitor displays are generated automatically using artificial intelligence and may contain errors. Always verify important information yourself and consult a qualified doctor before making any health decision based on content shown in Shrinkhala.

Home vitals readings

Blood pressure and blood glucose readings you log — whether entered manually or captured via photo — reflect a single point-in-time measurement from your own device. They are not a clinical diagnosis and should be discussed with a healthcare provider, especially if a reading is flagged as abnormal.

Prescriptions & medicine reminders

Medicine names, dosages, and schedules extracted from a photographed prescription are AI-assisted readings of what is written and may occasionally misread a medicine name or instruction. Always confirm any medicine, dosage, or schedule with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it, and use the in-app correction option if something looks wrong.

In a medical emergency

Shrinkhala is not an emergency or monitoring service and does not alert anyone in real time. If you believe you or someone else is having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital immediately — do not rely on this app.

Third-party AI processing

To provide automated reading of reports, prescriptions, and vitals photos, this content is sent to OpenAI's API for analysis. See our Privacy Policy for full details on how your data is used and shared.

By using Shrinkhala, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Medical Disclaimer, and that you agree to use the app as an informational tool alongside — never as a replacement for — advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
