Limits
The tool does not infer medical meaning, categorize sensations beyond supplied content, or require a body map not supported by the product specification.
Is this a medical symptom tracker?
No. It records target-related body location and sensation for EMDR assessment, not general medical symptoms.
Can a client report no sensation?
Yes. No sensation, vague sensation, or general discomfort should be recordable without forcing interpretation.
Is a body map required?
No. A plain location field is sufficient; a body-location selector may exist only if it remains descriptive.
