OptoForge AI Transparency
Version 0.2-beta · Effective 23 August 2026
OptoForge uses AI-assisted features (collectively, “ForgeAI”) to support clinical learning. This page explains, in plain language, what ForgeAI is, what it uses, and its limits.
What ForgeAI is
ForgeAI is an AI clinical reasoning and learning engine for eye care. In OptoForge V1 it operates as an educational tool, not a live patient-care decision-maker or healthcare provider.
It can teach difficult clinical material, run simulations, challenge reasoning and support image-interpretation practice without being positioned as a patient-specific diagnostic or treatment system.
What it uses
Each ForgeAI request uses your learner-entered prompt together with relevant learning context, such as:
- professional stage
- learning goal
- active pathway
- clinical interests
- jurisdiction
- evidence sufficiency
- selected Clinical Development summary
- limited recent mapped activity context
The standard in-app ForgeAI conversation is kept in application session state and is not intentionally saved as a permanent chat transcript in the learner database.
What it does not do
ForgeAI does not:
- determine professional registration
- certify real-world competence
- make employment decisions
- grant qualifications
- determine prescribing authority
- make legally significant automated decisions
- make or confirm a diagnosis for a real patient in active care
- prescribe, select treatment or determine patient-specific referral/triage decisions for live care
Limitations
AI can make mistakes. ForgeAI output should be used for education, simulation and reflection. It should not be used to make a live patient-care decision. Verify clinically important learning content against appropriate current guidance and local governance.
Patient data
Data processing
ForgeAI requests are processed through the Base44 AI gateway and may be processed by AI service providers used by that platform. A single fixed underlying LLM provider is not confirmed. For details on personal information, see the Privacy Notice.
