Section 01

Introduction & Overview

Welcome to DrMedGuide, operated by AIP Innovations Inc. ("Platform", "Service", "Software", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through our Platform, including any data you provide or that is generated through your use of the Platform.

DrMedGuide is an informational research and reference support platform designed for healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, and authorized clinical trainees acting within the scope of their education, training, certification, institutional authorization, or professional responsibilities.

Section 02

Definitions & Interpretations

  • "Personal Data" refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, including name, email address, phone number, and any other information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify you.
  • "Protected Health Information" (PHI) refers to individually identifiable health information as defined by HIPAA. The Platform is designed to minimize the collection and retention of clinical information. Clinical inputs are processed transiently and are not intentionally retained as part of the Platform's normal operational workflow.
  • "Reference Output" means any report, draft, table, summary, or document generated by the Platform. All Reference Outputs are informational research drafts only — not diagnoses, prescriptions, or treatment recommendations.
  • "Authorized User" means a physician, resident, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, pharmacist, medical educator, researcher, or authorized clinical trainee who is operating under appropriate educational, institutional, supervisory, or professional oversight and who is using the Platform within the scope of their education, training, certification, institutional authorization, or professional responsibilities.

  • Account registration information (username, email address)
  • Payment and billing information (processed through a PCI-DSS compliant third-party processor)
  • Communications you send us (support requests, feedback)

3.2 Automatically Collected Information

  • Device information (hardware model, operating system, unique device identifiers)
  • Log information (access times, pages viewed, IP address)
  • Browser type, language preferences, and time zone settings
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

3.3 Clinical Input Processing

When you enter clinical information to generate a reference report, that input is transmitted securely to our servers for real-time AI processing only. Clinical inputs are processed transiently and are not intentionally retained as part of the Platform's normal operational workflow. We do not store, archive, analyze, or use clinical inputs for any other purpose — including model training or improvement.

3.4 What We Do NOT Retain

We do not intentionally retain clinical inputs, patient information, medical records, or health-related content as part of the Platform's normal operational workflow. Clinical inputs are processed transiently for report generation and are not intentionally stored, archived, or used for model training. Limited technical logs, security monitoring records, and operational system data may be temporarily maintained where required for reliability, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or system integrity.

Section 04

Medical & Health Data

The Platform accepts clinical inputs from Users to generate structured reference reports. It is critical that all Users understand the following:

4.1 Differential Reference Tables

The Platform may display organized differential comparison tables based on published medical literature. These tables are informational reference materials only — they are not diagnoses. The clinician is responsible for all diagnostic decisions.

4.2 Medication Reference Information

The Platform may display medication reference information including drug classes, general dosing ranges, routes, frequencies, contraindications, and side effect profiles drawn from published literature. This information is reference material only — it does not constitute a prescription or prescribing recommendation. The prescribing clinician bears full responsibility for verifying all medication information before any prescription is made.

4.3 Draft Documentation Templates

The Platform may generate SOAP note drafts, referral letter templates, and similar documentation. These are drafts for clinician review and editing only — they are not final clinical documents and must be reviewed, verified, and approved by the clinician before use.

4.4 Data Transience

Clinical inputs are processed transiently and are not intentionally retained as part of the Platform's normal operational workflow.

Limited technical logs, security monitoring records, and operational system data may be temporarily maintained where required for security, fraud prevention, reliability, legal compliance, or system integrity.
