Last updated

This Medical Disclaimer applies to Lirena Limited's websites, clinic workspaces, patient assessment links, assessment catalogue pages, scoring outputs, reports, exports, APIs, documentation, and related product surfaces.
Not an emergency service
Lirena is not an emergency service, crisis service, suicide-prevention service, or real-time monitoring system. Lirena does not promise to monitor assessment responses continuously, alert clinicians in real time, contact emergency services, or provide urgent clinical intervention.
If you or someone else may be at immediate risk of harm, needs urgent medical or mental-health help, or may be in danger, contact local emergency services immediately. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, call 112 or 999 for emergency help. If you are elsewhere, use your local emergency number. Patients and service users should also contact their clinician, clinic, GP, crisis team, or other appropriate local support channel.
No medical advice
Information shown in Lirena is for assessment workflow administration, scoring support, operational review, and record export. It is not medical advice to patients or service users and must not be treated as a diagnosis, treatment plan, medication recommendation, risk decision, or substitute for professional care.
Patients and service users should not start, stop, or change treatment, medication, therapy, or care plans because of anything shown in Lirena without speaking to a qualified professional responsible for their care.
Clinician responsibility
Clinics, clinicians, and other qualified professionals remain responsible for assessment selection, consent, safeguarding, patient communication, interpretation, diagnosis, formulation, treatment planning, follow-up, record retention, and any clinical action or inaction.
Lirena may help collect responses, apply deterministic scoring where supported, display scores and response detail, surface provenance, prepare exports, and organise workflow information. Those outputs must be reviewed in context by an appropriately qualified professional who understands the patient, instrument, setting, limitations, and local governance requirements.
Psychometric assessment limits
Psychometric instruments can support screening, assessment, monitoring, documentation, and outcome review, but they do not diagnose a condition by themselves. Scores can be affected by context, language, literacy, neurodiversity, medication, physical health, distress, risk state, incomplete answers, misunderstanding, response style, and other clinical factors.
Clinics must verify official instrument wording, licences, scoring manuals, translations, norms, cut-offs, permitted uses, and professional competency requirements before using an instrument in production. Lirena's catalogue pages describe operational use and metadata and should not be treated as a substitute for official materials or clinical training.
Risk and safeguarding
Some assessment workflows may include answers or scores that clinicians consider relevant to safety, self-harm, suicide risk, safeguarding, abuse, neglect, deterioration, or other urgent concerns. Lirena may display or export such information where the workflow supports it, but Lirena does not decide clinical risk or replace local risk protocols.
Customers must maintain their own procedures for reviewing returned results, acting on risk information, contacting patients, escalating urgent concerns, documenting decisions, and arranging appropriate clinical or emergency support.
Assessment workflow boundaries
Lirena's current assessment workflow uses deterministic scoring and clinician review. It does not generate clinical notes, diagnose, recommend treatment, or stratify clinical risk.
Clinicians are responsible for checking accuracy, completeness, context, and suitability before using any assessment output in a record or decision.
Medical-device and regulatory review
Customers are responsible for assessing whether their intended use of Lirena, any connected workflow, or any locally configured process triggers medical-device, clinical safety, healthcare, professional, procurement, insurance, accessibility, or other regulatory obligations in their jurisdiction.
Unless Lirena separately states a specific regulatory status in a signed agreement or formal regulatory notice, Customers must not treat Lirena as certified or approved for any regulated medical-device, diagnostic, treatment, or emergency purpose.
No patient-clinician relationship with Lirena
Using a Lirena website, workspace, assessment link, report, export, API, or support channel does not create a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, therapist-client, or other healthcare professional relationship between Lirena and any patient or service user.
The clinic or clinician that invites a patient or service user to complete an assessment remains responsible for the clinical relationship and any follow-up.
Use with minors or vulnerable people
Lirena is designed for clinic-managed workflows. Where a clinic uses Lirena with minors, vulnerable adults, people lacking capacity, or people requiring support to complete assessments, the clinic is responsible for consent, capacity, guardian or carer involvement, accessibility, safeguarding, professional review, and local law.
Reliance and warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lirena does not warrant that any assessment workflow, score, report, export, integration, or catalogue information is clinically sufficient for a particular patient, service, jurisdiction, instrument, or professional use case.
Customers should complete clinical governance, privacy, security, procurement, and legal review before using Lirena in live care workflows.
Questions
Questions about this Medical Disclaimer can be sent through the contact routes published on the Lirena website, including demo@lirena.ie. Clinical questions about an individual patient or service user should be directed to the responsible clinic or clinician.
