Editorial Policy
At LifeCheckIQ, accuracy and trust come first. Our health content and tools are created to help people understand their health and make informed decisions. This policy explains how we research, write, review and maintain everything we publish.
Our sources
Every tool and article is grounded in authoritative, evidence-based sources. We rely on peer-reviewed medical literature, clinical guidelines and recognised health authorities including the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the UK National Health Service (NHS) and other reputable bodies. Our calculators and clinical scores are built on validated, published formulas and classification standards.
How we write
Our writers translate complex medical information into clear, accessible language without oversimplifying or distorting the science. We aim to be accurate, balanced and practical — explaining not just what something means, but what a reader can do about it and when they should seek professional care. We avoid sensationalism, fear-based messaging and unsupported claims.
Review process
Content is reviewed by our editorial and medical review team against current clinical sources before publication. We check that formulas are implemented correctly, that classification thresholds match recognised guidelines, and that explanations are medically sound. You can read more about this on our Medical Review Process page.
Keeping content current
Medical knowledge evolves. We periodically review and update our content to reflect changes in guidelines and evidence. Each tool and article displays a “last updated” date so you always know how recent the information is. If you spot something that looks outdated or incorrect, please contact us — we take corrections seriously.
Important limitation
LifeCheckIQ provides health information and educational tools. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment, and our content is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for any questions about your health or before making medical decisions. See our full Medical Disclaimer.
