Phibbo is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision support system regulated under EU Regulation 2017/745 (Medical Device Regulation) or any other regulatory framework. It has not been evaluated, approved, or cleared by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any equivalent body.
Triage levels, confidence scores, and assessments generated by Phibbo are AI estimates for informational guidance only. They are not clinical assessments performed by a qualified healthcare professional.
Large language model AI can produce inaccurate, outdated, or misleading information — a phenomenon known as "hallucination". Phibbo does not have access to your full medical history, cannot perform a physical examination, and cannot order diagnostic tests. Its responses are generated based on patterns in training data and may not reflect current clinical guidelines or your individual medical circumstances.
