    3. Medical Disclaimer

    Stroke Sisters is a community and informational platform only. We are not a medical provider. Nothing on this website or in our app constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician, therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or recovery plan. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read on this site.

    If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

    4. User Accounts

    Some features of our service require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

    Our AI coach, Ava, is available as a paid subscription ($4.99/month following a 2-week free trial). Ava is an AI-powered tool designed to provide emotional support and general wellness guidance. Ava is not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional. Interactions with Ava do not constitute therapy or medical advice.
