+ - **Malicious use: ** We do not support any use of this corpus that may be harmful. Creating tools that provide clinical advice is commendable, but extremely dangerous if not done with the appropriate care. Such tools need to be validated for safety and utility by medical professionals in randomized controlled trials. i.e. Please don’t create cowboy health apps that fool vulnerable users into thinking they are receiving validated advice.

+ - **Peer-Review Quality: ** It is important to understand that while most sources are validated by internationally endorsed professional associations, a large proportion are from Wikidocs which has crowdsourced content. While edits in Wikidocs are generally restricted to expert review, the process of consensus and oversight is different from the traditional rigor of clinical guidelines.
