1.What Penumbra is

Penumbra is a voice-first app that helps you track migraine patterns and prepare for doctor visits. Our app and this website are designed to help you:

Record what you experience — symptoms, triggers, medications, daily factors
Recognize patterns in your own data over time
Prepare for appointments with your doctor or healthcare provider, by summarizing what you've recorded

That's it. We're a memory and pattern-recognition tool for your personal health journey.

2.What Penumbra is not

Penumbra is not:

A doctor or healthcare provider
A diagnostic tool — we don't tell you what condition you have or whether something is wrong
A medical device that has been cleared or approved by the FDA, EMA, MHRA, or any other regulator
A substitute for professional medical advice, examination, diagnosis, or treatment
A platform for handling medical emergencies

We don't make medical decisions for you. We help you organize what you already know about yourself.

3.No medical advice

Any information you see on penumbra.health, in our marketing materials, in our app, or in any communication from us — including descriptions of conditions, symptoms, triggers, medications, treatments, or health practices — is for informational and educational purposes only. None of it is medical advice.

Don't use anything from Penumbra to diagnose yourself or someone else
Don't start, stop, or change any treatment based on what you read here
Don't delay seeking medical care because of something you saw in our app
Don't disregard advice from a healthcare provider because of something Penumbra suggested

If you have or think you have a medical condition, talk to a qualified healthcare provider. They can examine you, review your full history, and give you advice tailored to your situation.

4.Patterns and "insights" are observations, not conclusions

Penumbra may show you correlations or patterns in your data — for example, that symptoms you've logged tend to occur after certain triggers you've recorded.

These are observations from your own logs, not medical conclusions. Correlation isn't causation. Your healthcare provider is the right person to interpret what your data means for your health. If something we surface seems important to you, bring it to your doctor.

5.Emergencies

⚠ Penumbra is not for emergencies.

If you're experiencing a medical emergency — including but not limited to: severe pain, sudden numbness or weakness, severe headache unlike any you've had before, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke or heart attack, suicidal thoughts, or any acute crisis — call your local emergency number immediately — 911 in the U.S., 112 in the EU/UK, or your local equivalent — or go to the nearest emergency room.

Do not use Penumbra to log, message, or otherwise document an emergency in progress. Get help first.

6.No doctor-patient relationship

Using Penumbra or visiting penumbra.health does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other healthcare-professional relationship between you and us.

We are a software company. We are not licensed to practice medicine, give medical advice, or provide medical services in any jurisdiction.

7.Specific topics, conditions, and medications

If our content mentions specific conditions (such as migraine pattern tracking), medications, or treatments — including medication names, dosages, or side effects — it's only for context, education, or to help you record what's relevant to you.

We don't endorse, recommend, or prescribe any treatment or medication. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance on medications and treatments.

8.Third-party content

We may quote, link to, or reference third-party sources — such as medical guidelines, research papers, or content from health organizations. We're not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of third-party content. Always verify with a qualified provider.

9.Your responsibility

By using Penumbra, you acknowledge that:

You're responsible for your own health decisions
You'll consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical advice
You won't rely on Penumbra for diagnosis, treatment, or emergencies
Any information you enter is for your own use and reference

If you're unsure whether Penumbra is right for you, ask your healthcare provider before using it.
