Important Notice
Hermetiq uses artificial intelligence to assist with clinical documentation. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and approving all content before clinical use. Hermetiq is a productivity tool—not a substitute for professional clinical judgment.

AI-generated content disclaimer
CRITICAL: AI systems can and do make mistakes. You must verify all output.
Hermetiq uses large language models (LLMs) and speech recognition technology to transcribe audio and generate clinical documentation. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated transcripts may contain errors, mishearings, or misattributions of speakers
- AI-generated notes may contain factual errors, hallucinations, omissions, or clinically inappropriate content
- The AI may misinterpret context, tone, clinical significance, or therapeutic interventions
- Output quality varies based on audio quality, accents, technical terminology, and session complexity
- AI models are not trained on your specific clinical style, theoretical orientation, or documentation standards
- You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving ALL content before use in clinical records
- Cyans makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or clinical appropriateness of AI output
Healthcare and clinical use
Not medical advice
Hermetiq is a documentation assistance tool only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical decision support. Nothing in the Software should be construed as medical, psychological, legal, or professional advice.
Professional judgment
All clinical decisions, including what to document, how to document it, and what clinical actions to take, remain solely your professional responsibility. The Software does not replace professional training, supervision, or clinical judgment.
Patient outcomes
Cyans is not responsible for any patient outcomes, clinical decisions, treatment plans, or therapeutic interventions. You acknowledge that use of Hermetiq does not affect your professional duties, standard of care obligations, or liability to your clients/patients.
Not a medical device
Hermetiq is not a medical device and has not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by any regulatory authority (including the FDA, EMA, or equivalent bodies) for any clinical or diagnostic purpose.

Shared responsibility model
While we implement security measures and work with HIPAA-compliant infrastructure providers, regulatory compliance is a shared responsibility. We provide tools; you are responsible for using them in compliance with applicable regulations.
No compliance guarantee
Use of Hermetiq does not automatically make you HIPAA-compliant or compliant with any other regulation. Compliance depends on your overall practices, policies, and how you use the Software within your practice.
