Ask MERL

Be Specific: The more specific your question, the more targeted and relevant the response will be. Ask 1 question at a time and then ask follow-up questions as needed.

Provide Context: If your question is about a particular disease, age, or health condition, giving a brief background can help MERL understand the situation better and tailor the response accordingly.

Clarify the Need: Whether it is advice, explanations, or resources, being clear about what you need helps MERL provide the most appropriate response.

MERL is an artificial intelligence (AI)–powered tool designed to help users access information more efficiently. MERL is intended solely as an informational resource. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, and it should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical judgment.

By accessing MERL, you acknowledge and agree to NFID policies.

Your feedback helps MERL grow smarter and more efficient. MERL is still learning and improving every day from feedback shared. If MERL gave you the information you were seeking, give it a thumbs up! But if the answer is not what you were looking for, give it a thumbs down and explain why the response did not meet your expectations. Remember that MERL is an AI tool, not a real person. In order to make sure that MERL is as helpful as possible, we appreciate your input and feedback.
