Intended Use
PupilMetrics is a **research and educational tool** for licensed healthcare practitioners trained in iridology, natural medicine, or related fields. It is designed to assist in the observation and documentation of iris and pupil features as part of a broader clinical assessment.
PupilMetrics is **not** a medical device. It is not approved, cleared, or certified by any regulatory authority (FDA, CE, TGA, or equivalent) for diagnostic use in any medical context.
Not a Medical Diagnosis
All measurements, findings, and reports generated by PupilMetrics — including PI ratio, ellipseness, decentration, zone findings, ANW assessments, anisocoria readings, age-normative comparisons, hybrid confidence scores, and all therapy panel content — are:
– **Observational and educational only**
– **Not diagnostic conclusions**
– **Not a substitute for a clinical examination** by a licensed medical or allied health practitioner
– **Not intended to guide, change, or replace any medical treatment**
The practitioner using this software is solely responsible for all clinical decisions made in connection with its output.
Therapy Panel Disclaimers
Each therapy panel carries its own disclaimer that also appears in the PDF report:
| Panel | Disclaimer text |
|---|---|
| Herbal | “Herbal suggestions are provided for educational purposes only. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.” |
| Chiropractic | “Chiropractic information is provided for educational purposes. Consult a licensed chiropractor for diagnosis and treatment.” |
| TCM | “TCM information is provided for educational purposes. Consult a licensed acupuncturist or TCM practitioner.” |
| Nutrition | Dietary information follows the 7-Color Diet educational framework. Individual nutritional needs vary; consult a registered dietitian for personalized guidance. |
Herb–drug interactions exist. Herbal recommendations must never be applied without first reviewing the patient’s current medications and medical history with a qualified practitioner.
PLR Video Mode (Android)
The Pupillary Light Reflex (PLR) video mode carries an additional research-only disclaimer:
“Results are NOT medical diagnoses. Consult a healthcare professional.”
PLR analysis is an experimental feature. Velocity, amplitude, and latency measurements depend on ambient lighting, camera frame rate, and flash consistency. They should be interpreted only by practitioners trained in pupillometry and only as one component of a full clinical picture.
