Data safety
Every prompt is structured so you never need to input unpublished, confidential, or proprietary data. Tools marked 🔒 carry elevated data-sensitivity risk and include inline guidance.
Never input into any public AI tool:
- Unpublished clinical trial data
- Patient-level or identifiable data
- Proprietary compound information or IP
- Data under NDA or confidentiality agreement
- Pre-decisional regulatory documents
Always comply with ICMJE, GPP4, and your organization's AI use policies.
