SUMMARY FOR PRACTICING CLINICIANS:- Citedoc is designed strictly for licensed healthcare professionals and biomedical researchers.
- Citedoc is not an FDA-cleared medical device and does not practice medicine.
- No doctor-patient or clinician-patient relationship is created through use of this Service.
- Generative AI models can generate inaccurate or hallucinated outputs; clinicians must independently verify all citations, dosing formulas, and guidelines with primary literature before clinical use.
- Never use Citedoc during acute medical emergencies or life-threatening situations.
1. Purpose and Intended Audience
The information provided by Citedoc (“the Service”), operated by Mnemosphere Pte Ltd (UEN: 202403657Z, “the Company”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”), is intended exclusively for educational, informational, and research reference by licensed physicians, healthcare providers, clinical pharmacists, medical residents, and healthcare students acting under clinical supervision.
The Service is not designed, intended, or authorized for use by patients or consumers seeking self-diagnosis, medical advice, or personal treatment decisions.
2. No Practice of Medicine and No Medical Advice
The Service, including all synthesized answers, summaries, clinical claims, and literature citations:
- Does not constitute medical advice, clinical diagnosis, patient management guidance, or prescription authorization.
- Does not establish a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, confidential medical, or fiduciary relationship between the Company and any clinician, user, or patient.
- Must not be considered a substitute for formal clinical training, patient history, direct physical examination, diagnostic laboratory testing, or consultation with medical specialists.
3. Independent Clinical Judgment is Required
The licensed healthcare professional accessing the Service retains sole, exclusive, and non-delegable legal and professional responsibility for all clinical assessments, diagnoses, drug dosing calculations, therapeutic choices, and patient care decisions.
Medical knowledge and clinical guidelines advance rapidly. Clinicians are obligated to exercise their own independent clinical judgment and to independently verify all information obtained through the Service against authoritative, primary medical literature, institutional protocols, and official manufacturer prescribing documentation.
4. Regulatory Status: Not an FDA-Approved Medical Device
Citedoc has not been reviewed, cleared, certified, or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any other regulatory agency as a medical device, Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), or regulated Clinical Decision Support (CDS) software.
The Service is not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any disease or other clinical condition, nor for real-time patient monitoring or clinical triage.
5. Artificial Intelligence Limitations and Hallucination Risk
Citedoc employs advanced artificial intelligence, natural language inference (NLI), and large language models (LLMs) to retrieve and synthesize biomedical literature:
- Probabilistic Nature: AI models generate responses based on probabilistic pattern recognition and can produce erroneous, outdated, incomplete, or hallucinated claims.
- Citation Verification: While Citedoc provides claim-level citations with bibliographic links (PubMed PMIDs, DOIs), citations may occasionally be misaligned or incomplete. Clinicians must click through to the primary publication and review the underlying study design, sample size, patient cohort, and statistical endpoints before applying findings in clinical practice.
6. Drug Dosing, Interactions and Off-Label Uses
Pharmacological information provided through the Service—including dosing recommendations, renal/hepatic impairment calculators, CYP450 drug interactions, QTc prolongation warnings, and contraindications—is provided for general academic reference only:
- Independent Formulary Check: Drug dosages and administration protocols must always be cross-referenced with official FDA/EMA package inserts, hospital formulary guidelines, and clinical pharmacists.
- Off-Label Discussion: The Service may reference published academic studies discussing off-label, experimental, or investigational uses of medications or therapeutic devices. Discussion of such literature does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or safety certification by the Company.
7. Prohibition in Medical Emergencies
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCIES:
Citedoc must never be used during acute medical emergencies, trauma resuscitations, cardiac arrests, or acute clinical deteriorations. In any emergency situation, immediately follow standard hospital emergency protocols and evidence-based acute resuscitation pathways.
8. Scientific Literature, Medical Societies & Fair Use
Citedoc indexes, searches, and summarizes citations from public biomedical databases, open repositories, and peer-reviewed literature:
- References to medical journals (e.g., NEJM, The Lancet, JAMA, BMJ, Cochrane Library) and professional societies (e.g., ACC, AHA, KDIGO, GOLD, NCCN, ASCO, CDC, WHO) are provided solely for academic scholarship, scientific commentary, and fair use research.
- Such references do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or approval of Citedoc by these journals, publishers, or societies.
9. External Links Disclaimer
The Service contains links to third-party scientific websites, journal repositories, PubMed records, and external medical databases. The Company does not operate, control, or guarantee the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of information found on external websites.
