Myro uses AI technologies to power core features of our Services, including:

- All AI outputs that involve clinical significance are reviewed by licensed medical professionals before being shared with you.
- AI models are regularly tested for accuracy and fairness across demographics.

It is shared only with doctors and clinical systems involved in your care, and never with lab partners, advertisers, or any other third party.
All third-party processors are bound by written contracts requiring them to process data only on our instructions, maintain confidentiality, and implement appropriate security measures.
