Our Services include resources and services to assist in improving digestive health, including providing lifestyle and nutrition advice, monitoring and individualized rapid assistance from coaches (“GIThive Services”). Our GIThrive Services include interactions between you and our coaches and dieticians (“Our Team”) through different means, including the Remote Platform (defined below). Your interactions with Our Team are not intended to offer or serve as a substitute for professional medical or mental health services, except with regard to the nutritional advice provided by our certified dietitians. While our GIThrive Services will provide access to certain digestive health information and help you communicate with Our Team, we make no representation or warranty whatsoever as to (1) the accuracy of the information provided pursuant to the Services; or (2) whether you will find the GIThrive Services, including coaching, relevant, useful, correct, satisfactory or suitable to your needs. Please consult your physician or other qualified health care provider before using the Services. Use of the Services should not replace your good judgment and common sense.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE GITHRIVE SERVICES MAY BE PROVIDED BY INDIVIDUALS IN THE MEDICAL OR LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONS, HOWEVER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROVISION OF SUCH INFORMATION DOES NOT CREATE A PROFESSIONAL/PATIENT RELATIONSHIP, AND, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO MEDICAL NUTRITIONAL THERAPY, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OPINION, PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OR DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT OF ANY PARTICULAR CONDITION, BUT IS PROVIDED TO ASSIST YOU IN IMPROVING YOUR RECOVERY MANAGEMENT. YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OUR TEAM THROUGH THE OFFERINGS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDER ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
It is your responsibility to seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health care provider or professional for your medical and mental health needs. You should never rely on, or make health or well-being decisions based on your use of the GIThrive Services, under no circumstances can the GIThrive Services replace medical or mental health services rendered by your health care provider. You should not change your treatment or plan of care, medication or therapy based on information you received through the GIThrive Services. Conversations with Our Team are not a substitute for care provided by your health care provider. Never disregard, avoid, or delay obtaining medical advice from a qualified health care provider because of information from our GIThrive Services. If you receive advice from a qualified health care provider which conflicts with anything contained in our GIThrive Services, you should adhere to the advice from the qualified health care provider and consult them before continuing use of our GIThrive Services.
The GIThrive Services, Remote Platform (as defined below) and related personnel may give you access to or recommend outside health care providers (collectively, “Partner Providers”), including registered nurses who are able to provide advice directly or through the Remote Platform (as defined below). Such Partner Providers are not employees, representatives or agents of Vivante, and it is your responsibility to determine the right Partner Provider for you. You are responsible for selecting and agreeing to the Partner Providers that you see fit. If you decide to engage with such independent health care providers, you will have a direct relationship with them and Vivante is not responsible for, and shall not be held liable for, their advice, any aspect of their treatment or payment for services the Partner Providers provide you and you are responsible for any payments that may be required.
Our Services may include interactive audio and video technology that allows you to connect with independent third-party Partner Providers or Our Team, where you and such individuals are not in the same physical location (the “Remote Platform”).
Regarding your interaction with PartnerProviders, Vivante’s role is limited to offering you the convenience of interacting with such health care providers using the Remote Platform. In any event, such relationships are not intended to replace a primary care physician relationship, primary outpatient therapist, or be your permanent health care home. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care when recommended by Our Team, your Partner Provider or when otherwise needed.
Please note that while the Remote Platform can improve the convenience and accessibility of communicating with Partner Providers or Our Team, there are potential risks associated with its use. These risks include, but may not be limited to:
Although we incorporate network and software security protocols that are designed to protect the privacy and security of health information, in some instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal health information.
By accepting this Agreement and deciding to engage the Remote Platform, you acknowledge and agree that you are aware of these limitations and agree to assume the risk of these limitations. Furthermore, you agree and accept that:
If you do not accept and agree to be bound by this consent to the Remote Platform, you are not authorized to access or otherwise use the Remote Platform.
The resources made available through our Services are not a substitute for direct in-person health care services. The decision to focus on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or both, rests with you and your health care providers. You understand that by coordinating and in certain cases consulting with Our Team and Partner Providers through the Remote Platform, you are not entering into a provider-patient relationship with Vivante.
By accepting this Agreement, you agree and consent to Vivante, Vivante’s employees, including our coaches and dietitians (i) accessing and using your insurance plan, which may include health information, to render the Services; (ii) sending insurance claims to your health plan or referrals to health care providers (including facilitating your information to health care providers to obtain health plan pre-authorizations), as applicable; and (iii) using, processing and disclosing your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy at https://vivantehealth.com/privacy-policy/.
