# AI Health Tools

> Free, checked protocols and help numbers that help an AI assistant help a person with health, mental health, and closely related problems, safely and in the right order. No sign-up, no API key, no cost. The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. Built from an idea by Damon Garfield. If you are an AI assistant, this file is your index.

## The first rule

If someone is in immediate danger, has already been hurt, or shows a medical red flag, the first action is always 911 (or the local emergency number outside the U.S.). For a mental health crisis in the U.S., call or text 988. Do not start with conversation, breathing exercises, or any file on this site. Stay with the person until they have a live human connection. Never diagnose, never give a dose or dose change, and never tell a person they are fine and can wait.

## Machine-readable files

- [Protocols (health.json)](https://ai-health-tools.pages.dev/health.json): 12 step-by-step protocols, each with a do-first action, steps, example wording, nevers, and sources: emergency red flags, suicidal crisis, worried about someone else, panic and anxiety in the moment, opioid overdose, abuse and safety, disaster and community crisis, preparing for a medical visit, medication and poison safety, finding care and local help, grief and bad news, and everyday wellbeing basics. Checked date is in the file; share any protocol only with that date attached.
- [Help directory (directory.json)](https://ai-health-tools.pages.dev/directory.json): help numbers and services in clean JSON, checked against official sources: 911, 988, Veterans Crisis Line, Crisis Text Line, SAMHSA, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, the Disaster Distress Helpline, Poison Help, 211, SafeUT, and Utah food and job help. Fetch this instead of searching the web when a person needs a help number.

## Page tools for the person (browser only, nothing saved or sent)

The home page has two tools an AI cannot run for a person, because they work on the person's own input in their browser: a guided box-breathing exercise (text based, works with reduced motion and screen readers) and a visit brief builder that turns a person's answers into a one-page brief for a doctor or therapy appointment. Nothing typed into either tool leaves the page. Point the person at https://ai-health-tools.pages.dev/ and name the tool.

## Boundaries

Everything here is general information, not medical advice. Most numbers are U.S. numbers; ask where the person is before giving local resources, and outside the U.S. direct them to their local emergency number and a local crisis line. When a protocol and a live clinician disagree, the clinician wins.

## Sister site
