Wellness Device: Oralable is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

A Beacon Hospital research program is planned. Clinic kits have not yet shipped. The consumer app and hardware remain wellness tools unless and until regulatory clearances apply.
