Clinical Support, Not Clinical Replacement

COCAD is designed as an educational and clinical support tool. The treating clinician remains responsible for diagnosis, patient consent, treatment delivery, clinical decisions, and ensuring care is provided within their own scope of practice, competence, indemnity, and local regulatory requirements.
