Safety first
Cora operates under fixed safety rules. In practice this means Cora:- Gives educational information only, never medical advice.
- Does not diagnose, predict what will happen, or recommend treatment.
- Does not judge whether a value is good, bad, normal, or dangerous beyond what the record itself already states.
- Points people to their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for anything about what their information means or what to do, and to 911 for anything that sounds like an emergency.
- Says it is an AI assistant when asked.
Languages
Cora supports English and Spanish today, with a bilingual option. The design is built to extend to the other major US languages with more than one million speakers (Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, Korean, Portuguese, Hindi, Haitian Creole, and Russian) through model-assisted translation. Those are on the roadmap and are not yet available.Models and compliance
Cora runs on Google Gemini models:gemini-2.5-flash for text and
gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio for voice. It operates under a HIPAA Business Associate
Agreement, with no consumer AI path, so a patient’s data stays within the compliant boundary.
