What the Phoenix Guide Is — and Is Not
The Phoenix Guide is a retrieval-augmented assistant grounded in a curated corpus of federal patient education (MedlinePlus, CDC, NIH, AHRQ) and Phoenix Health Compass editorial content.
What it does
- Answers general patient-education questions.
- Cites every source passage used to construct a response.
- Detects emergency phrasing and refuses with a clear referral to 911 or Poison Control.
What it does not do
- Diagnose conditions.
- Recommend specific treatments or medications.
- Replace a licensed clinician.
If a question requires medical judgment, the Guide will say so and recommend a professional.
Phoenix Health Compass publishes educational content. Nothing on this blog is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For medical questions, contact a licensed clinician. In an emergency, call 911.
