Programme Clinical Note
Last updated: Draft — pending legal review
This note is about the paid Yellow Programme. The general Medical Disclaimer for the Yellow apps and tools is unchanged and still applies to them.
The line we draw
Yellow the app is a wellness tool. The Yellow Programme arranges a consultation with an independent registered medical practitioner. That clinical relationship is between you and that doctor, not between you and Yellow.
What that means in practice
The doctor you speak to is registered to practise in India and exercises their own independent clinical judgement. Yellow arranges the consultation and does due diligence on the practitioner, including verifying their registration and keeping consultation records, as India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 require. Yellow does not itself diagnose, prescribe, or direct your care.
The blood panel is a read, not a verdict
The panel and your intake give you and the doctor a read of what may be driving how you feel. Perimenopause is diagnosed on symptoms and cycle change, not on bloods alone, and for women over 45 the guidance is generally not to test hormones at all. A normal blood result does not mean nothing is happening.
If you need care today
The programme supports your care over twelve weeks. It is not for emergencies. If you are unwell and need care now, contact a doctor or your local emergency number rather than waiting for the programme.
