Do not use NextMeal as the sole basis for allergy, medication, pregnancy, eating-disorder, diabetes, kidney, heart, metabolic, deficiency, or other medical decisions.
1. Not Medical Advice
NextMeal is a general wellness tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, prescribe, or provide emergency, clinical, dietetic, or medical care. Consult an appropriately qualified professional for personal health decisions.
2. Nutrition Estimates
Calories, serving size, macros, micronutrients, ingredient quantities, and daily targets are estimates. Daily totals shared with NextCoach are sums of those estimates and may compound missing meals or incorrect values. A camera or text description cannot reliably establish hidden oils, sauces, sugars, preparation methods, exact weights, brands, fortification, or all ingredients. Always review and correct values.
3. Allergens and Dietary Restrictions
Never rely on image recognition or generated text to determine whether food is free from an allergen or suitable for a dietary, religious, ethical, or medical restriction. Verify labels, packaging, preparation areas, recipes, and food-provider information directly.
4. Food Safety
NextMeal cannot determine contamination, spoilage, pathogens, safe cooking temperature, storage history, cross-contact, recalls, or whether an item is safe to eat. Follow authoritative food-safety guidance and discard food when safety is uncertain.
5. On-Device AI Limitations
On-device speech recognition can mistranscribe a dictated food, and language models can misunderstand spelling, quantities, foods, or context, hallucinate, omit, and misclassify. Results vary across devices, languages, model versions, and operating-system updates. Availability is limited to supported devices and may require a system-managed model download. A confident response is not proof of accuracy.
6. Trends and Deficiency Predictions
The current seven-day view reflects only meals you saved and can be distorted by missing meals or incorrect estimates. Any future deficiency indicator will remain an estimate, not a diagnosis. Laboratory testing and professional assessment may be required.
7. Swaps and Recipes
Smart swaps and generated recipes are not included in the current app. If introduced, they may be incomplete, impractical, culturally unsuitable, unsafe, or incompatible with allergies and health needs and must be reviewed before use.
8. Health, Coaching, and Wearable Data
The current app does not access HealthKit, Health Connect, or wearable data. Optional local NextCoach sharing provides only estimated daily calorie and macro totals and targets; it does not convert those values into a diagnosis, treatment, or medical certainty. NextCoach may combine imported estimates with information under its own terms and controls. If health-platform integration is introduced, records may be delayed, missing, duplicated, estimated, or recorded by another app and will not become a medical conclusion.
9. Emergency Disclaimer
NextMeal is not designed for emergencies. If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency or severe allergic reaction, contact local emergency services immediately.
