PDI Med — Interim Beta Terms

These Interim Beta Terms govern the invite-only beta of PDI Med until full Terms of Service replace them. We will give you at least 30 days’ notice before that happens.

1. Who we are. PDI Med is operated by Physician Driven Innovations, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company. Contact: dan@pdi-med.com.

2. Who may use it. Licensed physicians we have invited. Your account is personal to you.

A tool for organizing your clinical encounters and ABOG case lists. It does not give medical advice, is not a medical device, and makes no clinical decisions; those are yours. PDI Med is not affiliated with or endorsed by ABOG, ACOG or any certifying body, and makes no promise about board results or about acceptance of any case list.

We use it only to run PDI Med for you. We do not sell it. We do not give employers, hospitals, payors or insurers any view of it. We do not rank or score physicians. We do not use your data to train AI models without your separate, explicit consent.

“How PDI Med protects your data” is part of these terms. In short: the contents of your vault are zero-knowledge to PDI Med, and everything outside the vault is described there with the protection it has, including what reaches the AI model: the minimum necessary, de-identified, and not kept in readable form.

PDI Med signs a Business Associate Agreement with each physician, in the app, before any patient information is entered. During the beta PDI Med does not enter into agreements with hospitals or other organizations. You are responsible for being authorized to use PDI Med for the patient information you enter — if you are employed, that includes your employer’s policies. If you are employed, PDI Med asks you to file your employer’s approval in your vault before you enter patient information. PDI Med cannot read it and relies on your confirmation that it is genuine; filing an approval you do not have breaches these terms (see §14).

The Business Associate Agreement contains the terms HIPAA requires of one: PDI Med uses your patients’ information only to provide PDI Med to you, protects it under the HIPAA Security Rule, reports a breach or security incident to you within 60 days of discovery, binds its only subcontractor for that information (Amazon Web Services) to the same terms, supports patient access, amendment and accounting requests, makes its records available to HHS, and returns (by your export) or destroys that information when the agreement ends. It also makes you the custodian of your vault’s contents: you are responsible for your credentials and devices, for anyone you allow to use them or your unlocked vault, and for every file you export, and an event through any of those is not a breach by PDI Med. PDI Med remains responsible for the systems it runs, the information it holds outside your vault, and the code it delivers. You read and sign the full text in the app.

Review the de-identified preview before a note is sent for parsing, and never use the redaction tools to send a real identifier. Keep your recovery code and devices secure, and sign out on shared computers — closing the tab does not lock your vault. Files you export are yours to protect: store them encrypted and delete copies you no longer need. You are the custodian of your vault’s contents: you are responsible for your credentials and devices, for anyone you allow to use them or your unlocked vault, and for every file you export, as the Business Associate Agreement’s “Custody and responsibility” section describes.

Founding physicians are the beta. Features will change and things will break; export your vault regularly. Your first 2 weeks are free; after that, the founding-physician rate on our pricing page applies. We will remind you before your first charge, and you can cancel before then and export your vault. We show the price, billing cycle and how to cancel before we ask for payment information, and charge nothing without it. Fees do not include taxes.

You can export your vault at any time in the app. To delete your account, email dan@pdi-med.com: within 30 days we will delete your account, your encrypted vault including every stored version, and the data we hold for you, and confirm when it is done. Encrypted backups expire within 35 days. Application and security logs, which contain no clinical content, are kept indefinitely. The audit ledger holds fingerprints only and is kept permanently, because it proves records were not altered.

Contribution to the Gray Zone Intelligence Network is not active; nothing from your account is contributed. Before it is switched on we will update these terms and ask you. When you commit a visit, your browser also records in your vault a generalized version of it: the state, the year and quarter, an age band, a pregnancy-stage band, how long since the patient’s previous visit, your practice setting, which terms applied and a random contribution number. If contribution is ever switched on, only generalized values like these could leave, never the facility, the exact date or anything that points back to the patient.

If we are legally compelled to produce data, we can produce only what we hold: your encrypted vault, which we cannot decrypt, and the readable items described on this page. Where the law allows, we will tell you first.

We will give you at least 30 days’ notice, by email and in the app, before a material change. A change that weakens section 4 or section 10 takes effect for you only if you agree to it.

13. PDI Med is provided as is and as available, as a beta, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and without any promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free or that a parse, a de-identification or a case list will be complete or accurate. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data, and our total liability to you, under these terms and the Business Associate Agreement together, is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before a claim, or $100 if greater. This does not limit liability that cannot legally be limited, and it does not relieve us of performing the Business Associate Agreement.

14. Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless PDI Med and its owners, officers and contractors from any third-party claim, penalty, fine or cost, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent it arises from your breach of these terms or the Business Associate Agreement, from anything the Business Associate Agreement’s “Custody and responsibility” section makes your responsibility, from information you entered without the authority to enter it, or from your clinical decisions.

15. Missouri law governs these terms, and any dispute about them is decided in the state or federal courts located in Missouri.

16. Your account is personal: do not share your credentials or let anyone else use PDI Med as you. Do not use PDI Med unlawfully; copy, reverse engineer or scrape it; get around its security or its de-identification preview; test it for vulnerabilities without our written permission; or use it or its output to build a competing product or to train an AI model. Keep patient information out of the community forum, feedback and support messages — the Business Associate Agreement does not cover them. Forum posts must not identify a patient or be unlawful, harassing or misleading, and we may remove any post.

17. We may suspend or close your account if you breach these terms, if your account presents a security risk, for non-payment, or where the law requires it. We will tell you why and, except in a security emergency or where the law prevents it, give you at least 30 days to export your vault first.

Everything PDI Med generates — parsed findings, summaries, case-log fields, Refine and board-examiner questions, defense cards and source suggestions — can be wrong or incomplete. Review and correct it before you rely on it or place it in any record; we do not verify it for you. Defense cards and ACOG and ABOG references are educational, may be out of date, and do not replace current guidelines or your judgment.

19. We own PDI Med’s software and the content it provides; your data remains yours (section 4). We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use PDI Med while your account is open. If you send feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely, without any obligation to you.

20. You agree to receive notices and these terms electronically, at the email address on your account and in the app. Checking the box in the app is your electronic signature and has the same effect as a handwritten one.

21. These terms and the Business Associate Agreement are the entire agreement between you and PDI Med about PDI Med; the long-form drafts are not in effect. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and a delay in enforcing a provision does not waive it. Neither of us is responsible for a delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control. We may assign these terms to a successor or an affiliate; you may not assign them without our written consent. Sections 13, 14 and 19, and our obligations under the Business Associate Agreement for information we keep, survive the end of these terms.

You accept these terms by checking the box in the app. We record the version, a fingerprint of the text you were shown, and the time.
