kqichart Diagnostic Engine
The selection of symptoms and lab tests used in our diagnostic engine are user provided. KQI cannot determine if these are the best choices for any individual patient and therefore the results will vary according to these choices. KQI is also not liable for any results from this logical engine, since the choice of terms is user driven. Therefore, KQI, makes no guarantee that the results will contain the disease the patient is currently experiencing. KQI displays the best library search we can provide from the information provided. This does mean that kqichart will be accurate or precise in your analysis. KQI provides a logical processing of the medical terms provided and displays what any trained professional could do if given the time and literature needed. This process is not artificial intelligence but pattern matching. KQI is not practicing medicine and gives no statistical probably statements regarding any disease. This process is left to the medical professionals and their practice of medicine.
Term and Termination
This Agreement will continue and renew automatically unless terminated by KQI, as provided for in this Agreement, or you fail to respond to the renewal notice from KQI and do not renew your subscription.
KQI reserves the right to change the terms of this Agreement by providing notice in kqichart or, at KQI’s option, directly to users via electronic mail or conventional mail. Use of kqichart following the posting of any changes to these terms and conditions shall be conclusively deemed acceptance of those changes by the User.
