The consent moment: wellness not medicine, logged acceptance

PRD F3 · Phase 1

The consent moment users hit before triage or programs. In production the acceptance is spoken aloud too, and the logged record (timestamp + version of the text shown) is a compliance artifact — immutable, retrievable, reviewed by Barry.

Before we start

💪Vocal ER is voice wellness education and training — built by a working voice coach.
🚫It is not medical care: no diagnosis, no treatment, and it never replaces a doctor or licensed speech-language pathologist.
🤖The triage nurse is an AI assistant (with an AI-generated voice), and it will tell you so.
🩺Some symptoms mean see a professional now, and the app will stop and say exactly that.

The stop-now symptom list

Voice completely gone for more than 2 weeks
Pain when speaking or swallowing
Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Coughing up blood
Recent neck surgery or intubation
Sudden voice loss during heavy use

I understand this is educational voice wellness support, not medical advice, and I'll see a professional for anything on the stop-now list.
