ABOUT EVA

Eva is designed to empower people to take back control of their health, immunity, quality of life and longevity. Eva provides an easy way for you to track and monitor your symptoms, consumption of medicines and novel therapeutics and their impact on your quality of life. Our current version of the app uses the EuroQol Research Foundation’s EQ-5D instrument for measuring health related Quality ofLife. Our vision is to fundamentally transform healthcare and wellbeing for all, and we believe that personalised medicines and novel therapeutics have a unique role to play in improving a person’s quality of life, wellbeing and longevity. In order to gain accurate insights, we aggregate the anonymised data of our community to find patterns and safety data. We also use analytics and algorithms to improve our service and provide information within Eva. EVA IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE. PLEASE DO NOT USE “EVA” FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES – IN CASE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL HEALTH ISSUES, YOU MUST CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
EVA IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE CLINICAL MEASURES AND/OR MEDICAL ADVICE. BY USING EVA, YOU AGREE TO USE THE SERVICE WITHIN FOR THE INTENDED INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION WITH A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND PARTICULARLY NOT FOR DIAGNOSIS AND/OR MEDICAL PURPOSES.
Eva is intended to collect user-entered and otherwise provided data points related to health, treatment or medication (method of consumption, time, place, and its ultimate observed effect), physical activity and other data of the person using Eva. These data points allow for statistical processing for medical overviews and correlations related to specific conditions (such as chronic pain, anxiety, sleep disturbances, menstruation discomfort etc.) and one’s personal health in general.
You can use Eva by downloading and installing Eva from either of the App Stores, and subject to creating an account in the App.
The scope and functionalities of the App may differ based on the jurisdiction in which you are using Eva and the type of medication and/or therapeutic treatment of your choice. In particular, the App Service may not be available in certain jurisdictions.

CREATE Eva ACCOUNT

Please register and create an individual or a personal account in order to access Eva’s features and functionalities.
The process of registration requires explicit consent to this Agreement, including all documents incorporated herein by reference, as well as a provision of your email address, certain contact information and an individual password (for a new password set up and reset password requests).
For those of our members who wish to remain anonymous whilst using Eva, we are planning to build a ‘PIN’ feature. This feature will allow you to keep your daily log without submitting any of your personally identifiable information into Eva at any point. Please follow the instructions in Eva if you wish to activate your account with a PIN. We are also looking into solutions which will mean you can opt to convert out of PIN to full Account access at any point without affecting historical logged data.
You should know that your personally identifiable information is also held locally on your device and is subject to privacy and security measures you have on your device (if any). Therefore you should consider the safety and privacy of your data before using Eva generally. You should refrain from sharing data unless you are certain that the receiving email address is authorised, secure and credible. You should also bear in mind that anyone can access your data if your smartphone device is outside your immediate control, and view the data entered in Eva if proper measures have not been taken to secure your device.
We are not obliged to accept any registrations and, in our sole determination and discretion, we shall decline the creation of any and all accounts that are intended to, or do, disrupt, misuse or intend to falsify any information in Eva.

We want to counter any cultural negativity by consistently adding to the ‘common’ knowledge bank with regard to plant-based medicine (including medical cannabis) and other novel therapeutics and medicines. We fight stigma with facts and data. We fund research, support studies and individuals pursuing further evidence-based discoveries to make medical cannabis and novel therapeutics mainstream. Therefore, we may provide an option to donate via Eva enabling your support of our App Service.

Note on certain laws and regulations applicable to medicinal cannabis and derivatives thereof (if applicable): Laws and regulations surrounding medical cannabis and other natural therapeutics are complex and evolving, as is the information about the efficacy and safety of such products. We think it is important for all of our citizens to be aware of the laws that may apply to them. In the UK, cannabis and the majority of its derivative substances are controlled drugs and their use remains illegal, subject to some exceptions. The most significant statute concerning the control of drugs is the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (the “MDA”), which, in conjunction with the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001, forms the basis of the UK’s controlled drug regime. Cannabis is a Class B drug under the MDA, meaning it is a criminal offence to import, export, produce, cultivate, supply or possess cannabis without a licence. However, since 1 November 2018, the rescheduling of cannabis under the MDA legislation enables certain unlicensed cannabis based products for medicinal use in humans to be available under the provisions for “Specials” under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) published relevant guidance on 31 October 2018. The Regulations are available here and the MHRA guidance is available here. Laws and regulations differ depending on the jurisdiction you are located in, please ensure that you are familiar with the local laws and regulations applicable to your chosen treatment and/or medicine. This does not constitute nor should it be construed as legal or medical advice. Always consult your GP and/or specialist doctor prior to trying any treatment, substance or supplement.

NO GENERAL WAIVER

The failure of Alta Flora to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.
