Terms of Use
Last updated: 8 September 2026
Code Status is an emergency medicine simulation designed for education and clinical decision-making practice. Every patient, presentation, investigation, and result in it is fictional and authored for teaching.
It is not medical advice
Nothing in Code Status should be used to guide the care of an actual patient. It is not a clinical reference, it is not a diagnostic or treatment tool, and using it does not create a clinician-patient relationship or any professional relationship between you and us.
It does not replace training, supervision, or local protocol. Clinical practice varies by institution, region, and resource setting, and your own department’s guidance governs. Case content reflects practice at the time it was written and is not maintained as a current clinical reference.
In a real emergency, contact emergency services.
Scoring
A score reflects performance against one case’s authored rubric. It is not an assessment of clinical competence, is not a credential, and scores should be interpreted within the context of each individual case.
Who this is for
Code Status is intended for healthcare professionals and students. Any clinician role you set is a preference that changes how the app addresses you. It is not verified and grants nothing.
Your account
The app creates an anonymous account so your progress is saved, and you may upgrade it by signing in. You are responsible for the security of the account you sign in with. You may delete your account at any time from within the app.
Subscriptions
Some cases require a subscription. Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through your Apple ID, renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and are managed and cancelled in your Apple ID settings. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds; refund requests go to Apple.
The free cases remain free and are a complete experience, not a trial.
Acceptable use
Use Code Status for your own education. Do not copy, redistribute, or republish case content, attempt to extract it, or use it to build a competing product. Do not present it as clinical guidance to anyone else.
Our content
All case content, artwork, audio, and software in Code Status belongs to us or our licensors. Your subscription is a licence to use it, not a transfer of ownership.
Availability
We may add, change, or remove cases and features, and the service may occasionally be unavailable. We will not remove access to free cases for existing users without notice.
Disclaimer and liability
Code Status is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of it, and our total liability will not exceed the amount you paid in the twelve months before the claim.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States.
