2. Description of Service

2.1 What Sensus Is

Sensus is a wellness tracking application that enables you to:

• Log and track body sensations, discomfort, and wellness observations (including body state, positive sensations, contextual factors, and structured context details)
• View a Body Literacy Score (BLS), a personal awareness metric computed entirely on your device based on logging consistency, trends, and engagement
• Track your journey through progressive milestones that indicate when new analytical capabilities become available based on your unique logging days
• View patterns, trends, and at-a-glance statistics derived from your logged data
• Receive on-device automated pattern detection, including flare prediction, seasonal pattern analysis, and recovery trajectory comparisons
• Optionally read health metrics from Apple Health (read-only) to enrich your check-in context
• View cross-modal body signals that correlate your Apple Health metrics with your logged body states, presented as observations from your data (computed entirely on your device)
• Explore movements and exercises organised by body region, and rate your response to them
• Generate healthcare provider summaries for your personal use
• Optionally contribute anonymised data to community insights ("Consensus") via automatic upload to Google Cloud Firestore
• View community health metric signals showing what health metrics correlate with how people feel, based on aggregated categorical health pattern flags from consenting contributors
• View population-level wellness research drawn from peer-reviewed studies, presented as research findings rather than personal recommendations
• Optionally use AI-powered features (powered by Google Gemini via Firebase AI) for personalised insights, daily briefings, weekly reports, post-check-in intelligence, and conversational chat
• Receive optional local notifications for check-in reminders, pattern alerts, flare predictions, Body Literacy Score milestones, and AI-generated briefings

2.2 What Sensus Is NOT

3. Health and Medical Disclaimer

3.2 No Healthcare Provider Relationship

Use of the App does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-patient, or any other healthcare provider relationship between you and Sensus or its affiliates.

3.3 Consult Healthcare Providers

3.4 Emergency Situations

3.5 Movement and Exercise

The movement suggestions in the App are for educational exploration only. Before beginning any movement or exercise program:

• Consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you have existing health conditions
• Stop immediately if you experience pain, discomfort, or adverse symptoms
• Listen to your body and work within your own limitations
• Understand that results vary and are not guaranteed

3.6 Pattern Detection, Predictions, and Alerts

The App may identify patterns in your logged data, including "Red Flag" alerts, flare predictions, recovery trajectory comparisons, cross-modal body signals, and seasonal or weather-related patterns. These are:

• Observations from your data, presented with your specific data points, and in the case of recovery trajectories, published research
• NOT diagnoses, prognoses, or medical assessments
• NOT substitutes for professional evaluation
• NOT prescriptive health advice or directives
• NOT guarantees of future outcomes. Flare predictions, recovery trajectories, and body signals are statistical estimates only
• Intended only to support your awareness and prompt discussion with healthcare providers

3.7 AI-Generated Content

If you enable AI features (powered by Google Gemini via Firebase AI / Vertex AI), the responses generated, including conversational chat, daily briefings, weekly reports, post-check-in insights, and pattern analysis, are:

• For informational purposes only
• NOT medical advice or clinical recommendations
• Generated by artificial intelligence with inherent limitations
• Not reviewed by healthcare professionals before delivery
• Stateless. No conversation history is retained on any server

3.8 Body Literacy Score (BLS)

The Body Literacy Score is a personal awareness and engagement metric (0–100) computed entirely on your device. It reflects your logging consistency, pattern engagement, and feature usage. It is:

• NOT a clinical health score, medical measurement, or diagnostic indicator
• NOT comparable to clinical scales or medical assessments
• NOT an indicator of your physical health, fitness, or medical condition
• A motivational and educational tool only

3.9 Apple Health Data

If you grant permission for the App to read data from Apple Health, you acknowledge that:

• The App reads Apple Health data in read-only mode. It never writes to or modifies your Apple Health data
• Raw Apple Health values (actual numbers) are stored locally on your device only and are never uploaded to any server or shared with any third party
• If you also opt in to community data sharing, only categorical labels derived from your health data (e.g., metric type, direction, magnitude bucket) may be uploaded. These labels never contain actual health values. See our Privacy Policy Section 5.4 for the full anonymisation process.
• Apple Health data is used to provide personal context alongside your check-ins and to power on-device cross-modal body signals
• The App's use of Apple Health data does not constitute medical monitoring or clinical data collection
• You can revoke Apple Health access at any time via iOS Settings > Health > Sensus

3.10 Community Health Metric Signals

The App may display aggregated health metric signals based on categorical health pattern flags contributed by consenting community members. The App also presents population-level wellness research drawn from peer-reviewed studies. These signals and research findings are:

• Based on categorical labels only (for community signals) or published research (for wellness findings), never on raw health values from any contributor
• Statistical aggregations across multiple contributors, subject to minimum contributor thresholds
• NOT individual medical findings, diagnoses, or personalised clinical advice
• NOT prescriptive health recommendations or directives. Population-level wellness research is presented as research findings, not personal recommendations
• Observational patterns that may not apply to your individual circumstances
• Intended for general awareness only, not as a basis for health decisions

3.11 Notifications

The App may send local notifications (with your permission) including check-in reminders, pattern alerts, flare predictions, Body Literacy Score milestones, and AI-generated briefings. These notifications are:

• Generated and scheduled entirely on your device. No notification content is transmitted to any server
• For informational and motivational purposes only
