📋 Terms of Use

1. Who We Are

Kia ora! AnalyseMyHealth.com is a personal learning project created for my family here in Aotearoa (New Zealand). This isn't a commercial venture or a fancy corporate platform - it's me learning "vibe coding" (building with AI assistance) and passing the value on to my whānau and the wider community.

Why am I doing this?

• Learning modern AI development tools and techniques
• Helping my family understand their health data better
• Sharing what I build with other Kiwis who might find it useful
• Exploring how AI can make health information more accessible

What this means for you: You're using a hobby project built with care, but it's not backed by a big company with legal teams and 24/7 support. It's just me, learning and building, and I'm being upfront about that.

  • "HbA1c: 5.6%"
  • "Iron: 18 µmol/L"
