1. Wellness Tool, Not a Medical Device

StillPulse is designed to support a personal breathing practice. It is not a medical device, is not regulated as one, and has not been evaluated or approved by any health authority (including the FDA, EMA, or any equivalent body) for diagnosing, treating, curing, mitigating, or preventing any medical condition.

2. Session Metrics Are Not Medical Measurements

The Session Response score and all related metrics (heart-rate data, biofeedback activity, breathing phase timelines) describe observable data from a single recorded breathing practice. They are not:

• A measurement of your stress, anxiety, or physiological state.
• A diagnosis of any medical or psychological condition.
• An estimate of your cardiovascular health or fitness.
• A certification of the accuracy of your wearable's sensors.

Personal insights and pattern observations are presented as descriptive observations of your practice history, not as health recommendations.

3. Heart-Rate Data

StillPulse reads heart-rate samples from Android Health Connect for the sole purpose of providing real-time audio biofeedback and computing a Session Response score. Heart-rate data is delivered best-effort from your device's sensors and is not guaranteed to be medically accurate. StillPulse does not monitor, interpret, or report on your heart-rate data for clinical purposes.

4. Wind-Down Mode

The Sleep / Wind-down mode is a wellness exercise designed to support relaxation at the end of the day. It is not presented as, and should not be used as, a treatment for insomnia, sleep disorders, or any other medical condition.

5. Consult a Professional

Before beginning any new breathing practice, particularly if you have a history of cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions, anxiety disorders, or any other medical concern, consult a qualified healthcare professional. StillPulse does not provide medical advice and cannot replace the guidance of a physician or licensed therapist.

6. Limitation of Liability

StillPulse accepts no liability for any health-related consequences arising from use of the application or reliance on any information or metric it provides. Use of the application is at your own risk.
