1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Healthcare Online Tools, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the website or its tools.
2. Service Description
Healthcare Online Tools provides free browser-based utilities for healthcare IT workflows, including DICOM inspection, HL7 parsing, interoperability troubleshooting, and related educational or technical tasks. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, processing occurs locally in your browser rather than on our servers.
3. Intended Use
The service is intended for education, integration testing, quality assurance, technical review, and research-support activities. It is not certified as a medical device, is not a substitute for clinical systems, and must not be relied upon for diagnosis, treatment, or urgent patient-care decisions.
4. User Responsibilities
You are responsible for using the site lawfully and in accordance with your professional, contractual, and regulatory obligations. This includes protecting access to your device, reviewing outputs before relying on them, and ensuring that your use of the tools complies with your organization's policies on PHI, security, and data governance.
5. Availability and Accuracy
We aim to keep the service available and useful, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free outputs, or fitness for a particular purpose. Technical standards such as DICOM and HL7 are complex, and tool output should always be independently reviewed before use in production workflows.
6. Intellectual Property
All website content, branding, design, and software components are owned by Healthcare Online Tools or its licensors unless otherwise stated. You may use the public website for its intended purpose, but you may not reproduce, resell, or misuse protected content without permission.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Healthcare Online Tools will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from the use of the website or reliance on its outputs. This includes losses related to interoperability testing, data handling, workflow interruption, or compliance decisions.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time by publishing a revised version on this page. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. For questions, contact
