Medical disclaimer

This is not a diagnosis

AbsoHealth is reference information and a lifestyle self-check. The site does not diagnose and does not prescribe treatment.

What AbsoHealth is

AbsoHealth is not a medical organisation and not a medical service. The site is not intended for diagnosing, treating or monitoring a disease and is not a medical device.

The check-up is a lifestyle self-check: sleep, movement, food, mood, connection with people. Its result is a starting point for a conversation with a specialist, not a conclusion.

The materials are for general knowledge. They do not replace a doctor’s consultation.

Lab results

Go by the reference ranges of your own lab — they are printed on your report. A value outside the range does not equal a disease; a doctor draws the conclusion.

Ranges on this site are a hint with a source. If your report shows a different range, the report wins: labs differ in methods and units.

How the site talks about results

No “normal” or “pathology”, no probabilities of disease, no advice on medicines, supplements or doses. Instead: “below the range”, “above the range”, “worth discussing with a doctor”.

Phone numbers

Outside Russia, call your local emergency number: 112 in the EU, 911 in the US. In the US, the round-the-clock crisis line is 988 (call or text).

Mood self-check — 18 and over

The mood and anxiety questionnaires (PHQ-8 and GAD-7) were created and validated with adults. So this part of the check-up is for people aged 18 and over.

If you are under 18 and feel heavy-hearted, call a helpline for young people — in Russia, 8‑800‑2000‑122, free and anonymous.

Specialists

The specialist catalogue is reference information. Consultation, diagnosis and treatment are a matter for the specialist and their organisation. AbsoHealth takes no part in it and takes no money.

Sources

Every number on the site comes with a link to its source. They are all gathered on one page.
