What MyTrial AI Does Not Do
We believe being clear about our limitations is as important as describing our capabilities. Understanding what we cannot do helps you use our service safely and effectively.
Critical Disclaimer
MyTrial AI is an informational tool designed to help you discover clinical trials. It is not a healthcare provider, does not provide medical advice, and should never be used as a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making any decisions about clinical trial participation.
Our Limitations
Clear statements about what our AI cannot and does not do
MyTrial AI is not a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider. We cannot diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, advise whether to join a trial, or interpret your lab results.
Always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.
When we show you trials, we are showing potential matches based on the information you share. Only the clinical trial site can determine if you are actually eligible after a formal screening process.
Contact trial sites directly to confirm your eligibility for any trial.
Your health information stays private unless you explicitly ask us to share it with a trial site. We never sell your data. We never share it for advertising.
You control when and with whom your data is shared.
Your profile and conversations are used only to help you find trials. We do not feed your information into AI training processes.
Your data serves you, not our AI development.
MyTrial helps you discover opportunities. Your doctors, nurses, and care team help you make informed decisions. We are a complement, not a replacement.
Always involve your healthcare team in trial decisions.
