Log each medication with its dose, frequency, prescriber, and refill date in the persistent care profile. The Skill estimates when refills run low, prompts you before they lapse, and flags potential interactions for a pharmacist to review rather than resolving them itself.

Apply the three-question framework: could withholding it affect safety, does this provider's role touch the issue, and what is the minimum they need. New symptoms go to the primary care provider first, medication changes to the pharmacist and PCP, and falls to the PCP plus urgent care if serious.

No. It never diagnoses, interprets results, or advises on dosing. It helps you frame clinical questions clearly for the care team and includes a plain reminder in every relevant response that the care team has final say.

The Skill immediately stops normal conversation and directs you to call 911 for events like falls with head injury, stroke signs, chest pain, or loss of consciousness. It does not return to the original topic until you confirm help is on the way.

No. It follows a minimum-necessary standard, retaining only medications, allergies, care team contacts, appointments, and document existence. It never stores lab values, clinical notes, insurance IDs, SSNs, or the contents of legal documents.

It watches across conversations for patterns like exhaustion, isolation, guilt, and neglected self-care, then gently names them and suggests concrete resources such as respite care, support groups, and the caregiver's own doctor. Hopelessness or self-harm statements trigger immediate referral to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
