This disclosure governs the use of clinical assessment tools, questionnaires, and scoring calculators (the “Instruments”) provided via the Patient Watch service (the “Service”). This document constitutes an integral part of our legal framework and should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

---

1. Ownership of the Service

The Service, including its proprietary code, “Patient Watch” branding, automated notification logic, database structures, and Progressive Web Application (PWA) architecture, is the exclusive intellectual property of Patient Watch Medical Ltd (Company No: 14114586).

2. Nature of the Instruments

The Service provides access to clinical Instruments that are commonly described in the literature as validated in their original (paper) form. Patient Watch Medical Ltd does not claim ownership over the underlying proprietary content, phrasing, scoring logic, or clinical validation of these Instruments. All original copyrights remain with their respective authors, academic institutions, licensors, or estate holders.

3. Separation of Service Fees vs. Content Licensing

Patient Watch Medical Ltd operates as a technical infrastructure provider. We charge users fees for a “Premium” service which consists of:

• Logistics & Automation: Automated SMS, email, and push notification reminders.
• Data Management: Secure hosting, encryption, and longitudinal data visualization.
• Platform Utility: The transformation of static forms into dynamic, interactive digital interfaces for ease of use.

The payment of any subscription or service fee to Patient Watch Medical Ltd is strictly for the use of the aforementioned technical services. It does not constitute the purchase of a license to use the content of any specific Instrument.

4. Professional User Responsibility & Indemnity

If you are a healthcare professional, NHS Trust, healthcare provider, or researcher (“Professional User”):

• Licensing Compliance: You acknowledge that certain Instruments are protected by international copyright. Use of these Instruments in a commercial, funded, or institutional environment may require a separate license or fee from the copyright holder.
• Obligation to Verify: It is the Professional User’s sole responsibility to ensure they possess the legal right to use a specific Instrument for their intended purpose.
• Indemnity: By using the Service, the Professional User agrees to indemnify Patient Watch Medical Ltd against any claims, costs, or legal actions arising from the unauthorized use of a copyrighted Instrument within the user’s specific clinical or research context.

5. Transformative Use and Reference

Patient Watch Medical Ltd transforms static clinical material into functional, interactive tools for medical education and patient monitoring. We do not provide legal advice and make no representation that any particular use of an Instrument is permitted without a licence. We provide these tools as a technical utility on an “as-is” basis.

6. Accuracy and Clinical Judgment

While we strive for technical precision in our digital conversion of Instruments, Patient Watch Medical Ltd does not guarantee that the digital output is an identical representation of the original validated paper instrument in all jurisdictions. These tools are for informational purposes and are not a substitute for independent professional clinical judgment.

7. Global Copyright Compliance & Takedown Protocol

Patient Watch Medical Ltd operates as a global platform. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and have established the following protocol to comply with international standards, including but not limited to the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and the equivalent frameworks in Canada and Australia.

7.1. Our Role as an Intermediary

The Service acts as a technical conduit for healthcare communication. Our role is that of a service provider facilitating data collection at the direction of the Professional User. In accordance with international “Safe Harbor” and “Notice and Takedown” laws, Patient Watch Medical Ltd is not liable for the content of Instruments unless we fail to act upon receiving a valid notification of infringement.

7.2. Reporting Infringement (The Notice)

If you are a copyright owner and believe that any Instrument on the Service infringes your rights, you may submit a “Notice of Infringement” to info@patient-watch.com. To be valid, your notice must include:

• Identification of the work
• Your contact information
• A statement of good faith
• A statement of accuracy

7.3. Our Response (The Takedown)

Upon receipt of a valid notice, Patient Watch Medical Ltd will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the affected Professional Users.

7.4. Disclaimer of Liability for Takedowns

Patient Watch Medical Ltd shall not be liable to any User for the removal of, or disabling of access to, any Instrument in response to a good-faith copyright notice.

8. Electronic Implementation & Validation Status

8.1. No eCOA Certification

Patient Watch Medical Ltd provides digital implementations of Instruments for convenience and utility. Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by Patient Watch Medical Ltd, these electronic versions have not been certified, validated, reviewed, approved, authorised, or endorsed by the instrument copyright holders, licensors, licensing bodies (including Mapi Research Trust (MRT) / Mapi / ICON), or the original authors.

For the avoidance of doubt, Patient Watch Medical Ltd has not completed any mandatory screenshot review, equivalence review, usability testing, or other formal eCOA implementation review required by a licensor for many Instruments.

8.2. Industry Standards for eCOA Implementation

Professional Users should be aware that formal electronic implementation of certain Instruments may require additional steps imposed by the relevant copyright holder/licensor. These requirements vary by Instrument and intended use, and may include (non-exhaustive):

• License Agreement: A completed license agreement and user fee paid to the copyright holder or licensing body.
• Screenshot Review / Equivalence Review: Review of the electronic implementation by the copyright holder or authorised body (e.g., MRT) to confirm alignment with the original instrument and/or migration guidance.
• eCOA User Guide Compliance: Implementation in accordance with eCOA guidance documents designed to ensure the integrity of the original Clinical Outcome Assessment is respected.
• Usability Testing: Assessment of the electronic solution’s usability with target patient populations, including clarity, navigation, font size, and device compatibility.
• Target Language Migration: For translated versions, migration and screenshot review performed by the authorised body.

8.3. Patient Watch’s Position

Patient Watch Medical Ltd has not completed the above processes for the Instruments provided on this platform. Our digital forms should be treated as non-certified, non-validated electronic implementations and may differ from the original validated instrument in presentation, user experience, and implementation details.

We make no representation that our electronic implementations preserve measurement equivalence, satisfy any licensor’s “e-version” conditions of use, or are suitable for regulated environments (including clinical trials, regulatory submissions, or formal research protocols) where certified eCOA implementations are required.

8.4. Professional User Responsibility

If your clinical, research, or commercial use requires formally validated eCOA implementations, you must:

• Contact the original instrument developers or licensing bodies directly
• Obtain the appropriate licenses and undergo the required certification processes
• Independently determine whether Patient Watch is appropriate for your use case

Patient Watch Medical Ltd expressly disclaims any representation that its electronic Instruments meet eCOA validation standards, satisfy licensor requirements (including mandatory screenshot review), or are suitable for use in contexts requiring certified electronic implementations (e.g., clinical trials, regulatory submissions, or formal research studies requiring validated instruments).
