Medical disclaimer
Last updated 2026-06-04
The Institute of Doctors provides educational health-screening tools and AI-generated information for general awareness only. It is not a medical service and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Not medical advice
All content, tests, charts, and AI-generated analysis on the Institute of Doctors are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice and are not a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment, or the judgement of a qualified healthcare provider.
Screening, not diagnosis
Our self-checks adapt established clinical methods but run in your web browser on consumer devices that are not calibrated to clinical standards. Results can be affected by your headphones, screen, lighting, environment, and the conditions under which you take the test, and may differ substantially from a professional assessment. A screening tool can suggest that something is worth checking; it cannot diagnose a medical condition.
About the AI analysis
The AI analysis is generated by a large language model. It can be incomplete, inaccurate, or wrong, may reflect the limitations of your inputs, and must never be relied upon for medical decisions. Treat it as a prompt for conversation with a clinician, not as a clinical opinion.
No doctor–patient relationship
Using this website, taking a test, or reading our guides does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or any other professional relationship between you and the Institute of Doctors or any contributor. The optional Care consult connects you with independent licensed clinicians under their own terms; any such relationship is with that clinician, not with the Institute.
Emergencies
Never delay seeking medical care because of something you read or measured here. If you experience sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge, dizziness, chest pain, difficulty breathing, thoughts of harming yourself, or any urgent symptom, contact your local emergency services or a licensed clinician immediately. This website is not monitored and cannot respond to emergencies.
Seek professional advice
Always seek the advice of a licensed physician, audiologist, or other qualified provider with any questions you may have about a medical condition or your results. Reliance on any information provided by the Institute of Doctors is solely at your own risk.
