AI Assistant Disclosure
What the Hoss assistant does and doesn't do, and how clinicians stay in charge.
Draft for legal review. This text isn't final and isn't in effect yet. The published version will replace it before Hoss opens to patients.
What the assistant does
- Asks about your symptoms and history in plain language, the way a careful clinician would before a visit.
- Watches for warning signs and tells you right away if you should call 911, call or text 988, or get care in person.
- Writes a summary of your check-in for the clinician who sees you, so you don't have to repeat yourself.
- Explains general health information in plain English.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't diagnose conditions, prescribe medication or replace a clinician's judgment.
- It isn't monitored in real time by a person, so it can't respond to an emergency. Call 911 in an emergency.
- It can make mistakes. Your clinician reviews your answers and asks their own questions.
How clinicians stay in charge
Every visit is with a licensed clinician. They see your answers and the assistant's summary, can correct anything, and make every medical decision. The summary is labeled as prepared by Hoss from your check-in.
Your information
What you tell the assistant is health information, protected under our Privacy Policy and Notice of Privacy Practices.
- The AI services that power the assistant process it on our behalf under contracts that protect it.
- They're not allowed to use it to train their own models.
- Before you create an account, you can delete a check-in you started.
Your choice
You can stop a check-in at any time, and delete one you started before creating an account. During your visit you can raise anything with your clinician, whether or not it came up in the check-in. Questions: [email protected].
