Clinical safety

How Meridian handles the things that matter most.

Meridian is a wellness and personal health platform, not a medical device or diagnostic. This page explains the lines we hold and the role of clinician review.

01

Wellness vs medical guidance

Meridian explains your health data and helps you ask better questions. It does not diagnose disease, prescribe treatment, or replace professional care.

02

High-impact findings

When a result could affect medication choice, screening timing, or inherited risk, Meridian flags it clearly and helps prepare a clinician-ready summary.

03

Genetic counselling

For selected inherited findings, Meridian can connect members to optional genetic counselling resources.

04

Confirmatory testing

Some genetic findings benefit from confirmatory testing in a clinical setting. Meridian helps you understand when this may apply.

05

Medication decisions

Pharmacogenomic findings are guidance for clinician conversations, not standalone medication decisions. Always discuss medication changes with a qualified prescriber.

06

Cancer screening

Meridian does not replace cancer screening recommended by your doctor. Inherited risk findings may inform when and how often to screen, with clinician oversight.

07

Emergency care

Meridian is not for emergencies. If you are experiencing chest pain, severe symptoms, or any acute medical issue, seek immediate medical care.

08

AI limitations

AI-generated explanations may be incomplete or imprecise. Always cross-check important findings with a qualified clinician before acting on them.
