Intellectual property

The content of this site, including its texts, its illustrations, its design system and the way its explanations are organized, belongs to Smart Medical Care SAS unless stated otherwise. Reproduction for commercial purposes requires prior written agreement.

Quoting a passage with a link back to the page it comes from is permitted and welcome. The scientific sources cited at the foot of each page belong to their own publishers, and the DOI links point to them rather than to copies held here.

Nature of the information, and liability

This site is an aid to understanding a laboratory report. It does not constitute a medical consultation, does not produce a diagnosis, and does not replace the physician who ordered your tests. What it produces is the reading of a document, not a medical opinion on your health.

The content is written with care and cited, but medical knowledge changes, laboratory practices differ and no page can take your history and your treatments into account. Smart Medical Care SAS cannot be held liable for a decision taken on the sole basis of a page of this site, nor for any interruption of the service.

If you have symptoms that worry you, or if your laboratory or your doctor has contacted you about a result, that is a matter for them and not for a website.

Links to other sites

Some pages link out to the publishers of the scientific and institutional sources they cite. Those pages are outside our control and their content is the responsibility of whoever publishes them.

Personal data

The processing of personal data, including the laboratory reports you upload, is described in the privacy policy. It is the document to read for retention periods, legal bases, subprocessors and how to exercise your rights.

Applicable law

This notice is governed by French law. In the absence of an amicable settlement, disputes fall to the competent French courts.
