2. Medical Disclaimer (CRITICAL)
ELEVATE IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE AND IS NOT INTENDED TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, CURE, OR PREVENT ANY DISEASE OR HEALTH CONDITION.
Physique Analysis & Somatotype Classification: These features provide estimates based on statistical data and user-provided measurements. Results are for informational and entertainment purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice, a physician's consultation, or a diagnosis of any kind.
Fitness Calculations: All calculations (TDEE, body fat percentage, FFMI, muscular potential, strength ratios) are mathematical estimates. Individual results may vary significantly. These numbers should not be used as the sole basis for health decisions.
Exercise Risk: Physical exercise carries inherent risks including but not limited to muscle strain, joint injury, cardiovascular stress, and in rare cases, death. Always consult a qualified physician before starting any diet or exercise program, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions, are pregnant, or are over 40 years of age.
You assume full responsibility for your use of the App and any physical activities you undertake based on its content. The App is for TRACKING PURPOSES ONLY. The Developer is not liable for any injuries, health issues, or deaths that may result from your use of the App.
Health Data Integration (Sleep & Steps): When integrated with Google Health Connect or Apple Health, the App reads sleep and activity data strictly for tracking and historical display purposes.

⚠️ IMPORTANT AI LIMITATIONS
- AI responses can be creative, imprecise, or factually incorrect (known as "hallucinations").
