5. Family Members

The app may let you link and manage information about family members or other patients. By adding a family member, you confirm that you are authorised to access and manage that person's information and that you will use it only for legitimate care-related purposes. Please do not access or share another person's health information without proper authorisation.

6. Children's Privacy

The app is intended mainly for adults. Information about a child may be accessed through the account of a parent, legal guardian or other authorised person, where supported by the hospital. We do not knowingly encourage children to create their own accounts.
