Frequently asked questions

Is MedBuddie a healthcare provider?

MedBuddie is primarily a health education, knowledge, and community platform. Certain physician services may be offered separately and will clearly identify the responsible provider, service scope, jurisdiction, and applicable terms.

How are physicians verified?

Verification may include identity confirmation, professional-license validation, specialty and credential checks, sanctions screening where available, and periodic reverification.

Can MedBuddie diagnose or treat me?

General platform content cannot diagnose or treat an individual. Any clinical service must be provided through a clearly defined physician-patient service that follows applicable professional and legal requirements.

Can I protect my identity in community discussions?

Members can control how their public profile appears, subject to the account, safety, moderation, and legal requirements of the platform.

How does MedBuddie address misinformation?

MedBuddie uses content labels, source requirements, moderation, reporting tools, risk detection, correction workflows, and transparent review histories.

How is my health information used?

Health and account information is handled according to MedBuddie’s privacy, consent, security, and research-participation policies. Research participation requires a separate and transparent consent process.
