1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using NeuroGuard ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Lucas Taverna ("the Developer").
2. Description of Service
NeuroGuard is a complementary monitoring companion for people with epilepsy. The App uses Apple Watch sensors to detect motor events that may be compatible with seizure activity, sends alerts to emergency contacts, and provides tools for clinical event logging, medication tracking, and report generation.
The App includes an AI voice assistant (Premium feature) that connects to our backend server (api.neuralcore.dev) to provide general first-aid guidance and information.
3. Medical Disclaimer
NeuroGuard is categorized as a Health & Fitness application. It is NOT a medical device and is not approved by the FDA, ANMAT, CE, or any regulatory authority. Specifically:
- The App does not provide medical diagnoses
- The App does not replace professional medical evaluation by a neurologist or other healthcare provider
- Detection algorithms may produce false positives (detecting events that are not seizures) and false negatives (failing to detect actual seizures)
- Detection works best for tonic-clonic seizures with significant motor activity
- The App is NOT designed to prevent Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP)
- The AI voice assistant provides general information only and does not constitute medical advice
- You should not rely solely on this App for your safety or the safety of others
- Always seek the advice of your physician or qualified health provider with any questions regarding a medical condition

5. AI Voice Assistant
