What Cortix can and can't do

Cortix is a training coach, not a medical service.

It builds and adjusts training plans from what you tell it and from what your rides and runs show. It cannot examine you, it cannot diagnose an injury or an illness, and it is not a substitute for advice from a doctor or a physiotherapist. Your coach is generated by AI and can be wrong.

Training carries risk. You decide whether you are well enough to train on any given day, and you stop when something feels wrong.

When to stop and get help

Stop training and get medical help if you have any of these, whatever your plan says:

Chest pain, pressure or tightness, especially when you are working hard. Sudden or unusual breathlessness, or breathlessness at rest. Fainting, blacking out, or repeated dizzy spells. A calf that is swollen, hot or red on one side. Numbness, weakness, or anything affecting your speech or your face. A blow to the head, or any confusion or worsening headache after one. Pain that stops you putting weight on a leg. Blood in your urine or coughed up after exercise.

Do not ask the coach what to do about these. It will tell you the same thing: get seen.
