We are not a clinic

We do research and teaching. We do not diagnose or treat anyone. Personal health records live in Good Health, kept separate from the Institute by policy and design.

When someone is in acute distress, they need licensed clinicians and real crisis resources: their local emergency number or crisis line (in the U.S., 911 or 988). The Institute studies patterns across populations. It does not diagnose anyone, prescribe anything, or replace care.

We hold that line for ethical reasons. Public work that blurs research and treatment harms the people it claims to help. Good Health is the Foundation's personal health record program, and it is walled off from us. This Institute does not hold medical charts.
