AI Limitations

Last reviewed: April 25, 2026

LongevityMate uses AI in reports, Mate, and lab extraction to help explain patterns in biomarker and wellness data. AI can be useful, but it can also be wrong, incomplete, or outdated. This page explains boundaries in plain language.

What AI is used for

  • Summarizing biomarker patterns and changes over time
  • Prioritizing areas to review based on your available biomarkers, goals, onboarding answers, and wearable signals
  • Drafting educational suggestions you can discuss with a clinician
  • Answering follow-up questions in Mate using the data available in your LongevityMate account

What AI is not for

  • Medical diagnosis
  • Emergency triage or urgent care guidance
  • Replacing licensed medical professionals

How mistakes can happen

  • Input issues: missing, mistyped, or out-of-date lab values
  • Context gaps: symptoms, medications, and history may be missing
  • Extraction errors: uploaded files can be read incorrectly and should be reviewed before you rely on them
  • Model limits: AI can misinterpret prompts or over-generalize

What users should do

  • Verify key recommendations before acting on them
  • Use AI output as a discussion aid, not a final decision
  • Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical decisions
