I made an app for this on Palm OS back in the day. I was advised to have a non-disclaimer basically saying "no one should use this app" for liability reasons. I originally wrote it cause my wife was having trouble remembering anti-biotic schedules for the babies.
People were using it and loved it but the emails that I would get for questions, support or just saying "thanks" were so full of TMI I eventually gave it up and took it down.
- jjets718 14y agoHi! Thanks for your comment! In the TOS all liability is covered, but thanks for your suggestion. I'd appreciate any other feedback you have!
- king_magic 14y agoI wouldn't be so sure... you need to be really careful, especially if you're in the US. HIPAA can be tricky to navigate. I doubt your TOS will trump HIPAA in court. I'd be very, very wary of storing any sort of patient information on my own server (e.g., what medications people take, mapped back to identities of patients). This is pure speculation, but unless you designed your backend to be HIPAA compliant, I'd imagine you may be very liable. I say all of this as a former medical imaging software engineer who dealt with many HIPAA compliance issues.
