Not a Doctor
What POLARITY is — and what it isn't
We want to be completely clear about this, so here it is in plain words.
POLARITY is a self-observation and journaling tool — a wellness product. It is not a medical device, and it is not a healthcare service. We are not doctors, therapists, or a medical organization. POLARITY is built as a companion for self-observation: a place to record what is happening and see how it changes over time.
No diagnosis, no treatment — ever
POLARITY is a self-observation tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or manage any medical or mental-health condition, and it is not a substitute for professional care. It makes no health claims. If something in your life needs a doctor's attention, please bring it to a doctor — that's what they're wonderful at, and it's exactly what we are not.
What POLARITY actually does
A daily check-in records mood, depressive thoughts, energy, anxiety, irritability, stress load and other context you choose to add. POLARITY then organizes that history into trends, reports and AI Reflections generated privately on your device. These features can help you notice patterns; they do not determine what those patterns mean medically.
About the numbers
Numbers in the app — like the Stability reading — are descriptive summaries of your own logging. They're self-awareness aids: a way to see your recent entries at a glance. They are never clinical scores, assessments, or predictions, and they don't know anything about you beyond what you chose to log.
About medication tracking
Medication tracking in POLARITY is a diary of what you choose to record — a quiet note of what you took and when. POLARITY never suggests medications, doses, or changes to either — and it never will. Any decision about treatment or medication belongs to you and your clinician, and only there.
Reports are for conversations
The reports feature exists so that, if you choose, you can bring an organized PDF of your own entries to your doctor or therapist — your words, your numbers, arranged for a richer conversation. Sharing is always initiated by you; we are never a party to it. And we genuinely encourage it: if you notice something in the app that stays with you, please discuss it with a qualified professional.
In an emergency
POLARITY is not an emergency or crisis service, and it cannot detect crises. If you ever feel unsafe, contact your local emergency number right away, or reach out to someone you trust. Many countries also have free crisis lines you can call or text at any hour — in the US, for example, you can dial 988.
