Medical Disclaimer
Please read this Medical Disclaimer carefully before using the BetterLife iOS application or exploring our coaching interfaces. BetterLife is built strictly as an auxiliary tool for behavioral accountability, productivity, habit optimization, and cognitive performance coaching.
🚨 If You Are in Active Crisis or Danger
BetterLife is an automated coaching tool and is **strictly incapable of managing mental health emergencies, acute clinical distress, self-harm, or psychological crises**. If you feel that you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact professional emergency responders or support helplines immediately:
1. Non-Medical & Non-Clinical Services Boundary
BetterLife is **not a medical device, clinical service, or licensed psychiatric therapy utility**.
Our automated systems and interactive interfaces do not offer medical diagnosis, medication advice, psychiatric treatment, clinical psychology consultations, or healing plans. The guidance generated by our AI modules (Aria and Aeron) represents simulated behavioral prompts designed strictly for performance coaching, cognitive restructuring, and daily productivity training.
If you are suffering from a diagnosed clinical condition—such as major clinical depression, acute general anxiety disorder, clinical ADHD, bipolar disorder, or complex PTSD—you must consult a licensed medical professional, therapist, or psychiatrist. BetterLife should not be used as a replacement for, or in contradiction to, any professional medical advice or ongoing treatment plan.
2. AI Transparency Disclosure
In strict alignment with state-level consumer protection acts and emerging AI transparency regulations, we explicitly state:
Aria and Aeron are not human beings. They are custom conversational agents powered by state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) running direct semantic inferences. While their training leverages cognitive-behavioral coaching principles, they do not possess empathy, medical intuition, or professional clinical licensing.
3. Limit of Liability & Technical Reliability
Because BetterLife is built to act as a self-help mirror, we operate under a strict limitation of liability:
We do not guarantee the clinical or behavioral outcome of any goal, routine, or cognitive reframing exercise. The suggestions are executed entirely at the user's personal discretion. Joerg Peetz holds zero liability for any personal, physical, mental, or financial consequences arising from your interactions with the AI systems or the tracking of streaks.
