Legal notices · Canada (informational)

Figures for Canada are educational references, not individualized clinical, legal, or travel advice. HandTherapy.app does not create a clinician–patient relationship. Always confirm emergency numbers and coverage with local authorities and your care team.

In Canada, public references commonly list 911 for life-threatening emergencies. HandTherapy.app does not place calls, verify numbers for your situation, or monitor emergencies. If you may be having a medical emergency, use local emergency services immediately.
