01
We do not diagnose, and we say so where it matters
GetMomiCare organises what you choose to record and explains it in plain English. It does not diagnose, does not tell you a symptom is nothing, and does not rule anything out. Where a pattern is worth raising, it says so and points to your midwife or GP rather than offering an opinion. Our AI is instructed never to diagnose, and the guidance it gives at difficult moments is covered by automated tests that check the wording itself.
02
Safety information is never behind a payment
Red-flag symptoms, crisis lines, NHS routes and the mental health directory are available to everyone, in every version of the app, whether or not they pay. A woman deciding whether to call her midwife must never meet a payment screen. This is a design rule we hold regardless of commercial pressure.
03
Emergency routes work without a signal
Crisis numbers — Samaritans, NHS 111, PANDAS, Tommy's — are stored in the app rather than fetched. They work with no data, no account and no connection, because the moment someone needs them is not the moment to discover the network is down.
04
We do not guess when we do not know
The app shows no cycle prediction until it has enough logged history to make one, and says why. A faint pregnancy test is never reported as a positive. Where a figure is an estimate — nutrition from a recipe, a shelf life we have not been told — it is labelled as an estimate. An invented number is worse than a blank space, because someone may act on it.
05
Difficult moments are handled deliberately
A negative pregnancy test, a period arriving during the two-week wait, and an early loss are written and tested as their own cases. Nothing celebratory or streak-based fires at those moments, the wording changes for someone who has told us she has had a loss, and support is offered every time. This is covered by automated tests that assert the copy, because the failure here is not a crash — it is a sentence that hurts someone.
06
Your health records stay on your phone
Scans, results, letters, MATB1s and everything else in the document vault are stored on your device and are never uploaded to us — including the list of what they are. That also means we cannot recover them if you lose your phone, which we would rather tell you than quietly hold a copy.
