Terms of Use

These terms of use (the “Terms”) are a legal contract between emocha Mobile Health Inc. (“emocha”, “we” or “us”) and “you”. The terms explain how you are permitted to use the services provided by and through our monitoring platform and our website (located at the URL www.emocha.com) as well as all of our associated internet properties (either linked by emocha and/or affiliated companies) and any software that emocha provides to you for download, including in your or your school/college/university issued mobile devices (our “Mobile App(s)“) (all of these virtual properties and applications, collectively, the “Site”). These Terms also govern your use of all the text, data, information, software, graphics, proprietary content and more (all of which we refer to as “Materials”) that we and/or our affiliates may make available to you, as well as any services we may provide through this Site). Collectively, the Site, the Materials, and the services provided herein are referred to as the “Service”.

What is the Service?

We offer access and use of our video technology and patient engagement solution that allows participating parents/guardians, students and educational institutions (“school”) to work together to maintain a safe school environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Service allows parents/guardians and/or Students to record and submit videos to their Administrator(s), which Administrators can then review to assess each Student’s medical symptoms related to the current pandemic as identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) (available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html) and determine whether it is safe for the Student to return to school .

Certain features of the Service may be subject to additional terms, which will be provided to you if you choose to use such features. Use of any features that are subject to additional terms constitutes an agreement to be bound by the additional terms. In the event that additional terms presented to you conflict with these Terms, the additional terms will govern.

The spread of the COVID-19 virus has been declared an “international pandemic” by the World Health Organization (WHO). We have augmented our service so that it can be used to help prevent and reduce transmission of Covid-19 through symptoms screening. Examples of such uses of the Service include:

  • to allow for school administrators (“Administrators”) to use the Service to screen their students for symptoms of Covid-19 prior to returning to school.
  • to allow for school administrators (“Administrators”) to use the Service to review student-submitted Covid-19 testing data and student-submitted vaccination data prior to returning to school.

Students and parents/guardians submitting information to an educational institution through emocha for purposes of the school’s review and evaluation are referred to in these Terms as “Students”. Administrators and Students are collectively referred to as “Users.”

The Service facilitates certain monitoring activities and communications between Administrators and parents/guardians or Students. emocha is not a medical service provider, health insurance company, virtual clinic or pharmacy, nor are we licensed to sell health insurance. You cannot fill prescriptions through the Service.

Please contact your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions regarding personal health or medical conditions.

THE CONTENT ON THE SERVICE IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED MEDICAL ADVICE OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
