Product Safety Assessment for Health Conditions
Use Case
Using AI to evaluate whether consumer products (medications, supplements, household items, personal care products, etc.) are appropriate and safe for someone with specific health conditions, allergies, or sensitivities. This includes analyzing product labels, ingredients, warnings, and providing balanced risk-benefit assessments.

- Safety-first approach: Provides clear warnings and precautions without being overly alarmist
- Balanced perspective: Offers realistic expectations about effectiveness while highlighting important safety considerations
- Contextual advice: Takes into account existing treatments and methods already being used
- Professional guidance recommendations: Knows when to recommend consulting healthcare providers
- Practical implementation tips: Provides specific steps for safe usage if appropriate
Starter Prompt
"I have [specific health condition/allergy/sensitivity] and am considering using [product name/type]. I'm attaching an image of the product label/ingredients. Can you help me evaluate whether this product would be safe and beneficial for my situation? I'm currently managing my condition by [brief description of current methods]."
Usage Tips
