1. The Service

2. Medical Disclaimer

This is the most important section of these Terms.

  • Dr. ICU is not a medical provider and is not licensed to practice medicine in any jurisdiction.
  • The Service provides general health information for educational purposes only.
  • Use of the Service does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
  • AI-generated responses are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
  • Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition.
  • Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something provided by this Service.
  • If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

For our complete medical disclaimer, see Medical Disclaimer.

5. AI-Generated Content

You acknowledge that:

  • You are solely responsible for how you use information provided by the Service.

6. Affiliate Relationships & Disclosures

FTC Disclosure: Dr. ICU participates in affiliate programs with health service providers. This means:

  • When the AI suggests a next step such as lab testing, telehealth evaluation, or health product, the associated link may be an affiliate link.
  • We earn commissions from qualifying purchases or sign-ups made through these links, at no additional cost to you.
  • Our current affiliate partners include (but are not limited to): Quest Health, MyStart Health, Hims & Hers, and TeleWellnessMD.
  • Affiliate relationships do not influence the AI's health information. The AI generates responses based on medical evidence and the health topic being discussed, not commercial partnerships.
  • We only partner with services we believe to be reputable, but we do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any third-party service or product.

Affiliate links are labeled where they appear. When you click an affiliate link, you leave askdricu.com and become subject to the third party's terms and privacy policy.
