Terms of Use

Last updated: August 28, 2026

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

Research-only information

This website describes retrospective research and a potential validation pathway. RetGuard is not a medical device, is not cleared or approved for clinical use, and must not be used to diagnose, screen, refer, treat, or manage a patient.

No product offer

The website does not offer a RetGuard camera, OCT device, integrated screening system, clinical report service, or other medical device for sale. References to possible partnerships are invitations to discuss research, not promises of compatibility, performance, endorsement, licensing, or commercialization.

Evidence and manuscript status

Performance figures summarize a Version 1 manuscript submitted to medRxiv for screening. A public DOI has not yet been confirmed, and the manuscript has not been peer reviewed. Results are dataset- and protocol-specific. Users must consult the full manuscript, dataset definitions, methods, confidence intervals, and limitations before interpreting or citing a figure.

No professional advice

Website content is not medical, regulatory, legal, investment, or engineering advice. Qualified professionals must independently assess any proposed study, product, intended use, quality system, or regulatory strategy.

Research artifacts

Access to code, model weights, or documentation may be subject to separate repository terms, dataset licenses, third-party rights, and written agreements. Nothing on this website grants a license to clinical use, redistribute third-party data, or use another party's trademarks.

Partnership discussions

Submitting a message or participating in an introductory discussion does not create confidentiality, exclusivity, agency, endorsement, a clinical-trial relationship, or a binding commercial agreement. Sensitive information should be shared only after appropriate written terms are in place.

Accuracy and availability

We aim to keep the website aligned with the current manuscript but may correct or update content as evidence changes. The website is provided as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted access or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse the website, attempt unauthorized access, submit malicious content, impersonate others, or use the materials to make unsupported clinical or regulatory claims.
