Our Editorial Process

How we ensure accuracy and reliability in every calculator

Our Commitment

Accuracy You Can Trust

Every health calculator on our platform undergoes a rigorous development and review process to ensure medical accuracy, usability, and reliability. Here's how we maintain the highest standards of quality.

We operate with a Single Source of Truth (SSoT): all calculator titles, descriptions, authors, dates, keywords, features, and image metadata are defined in JSON files and compiled into an aggregate library at build time. Pages are generated from those values to avoid manual drift.

Our 6-Step Editorial Process

Step 1

Research & Discovery

We identify health calculation needs through user feedback, medical literature, and health trends.

  • Analyze user requests and feedback
  • Review current medical guidelines
  • Identify gaps in available tools
  • Prioritize based on user impact
Step 2

Formula Validation

Every formula is thoroughly researched and validated against multiple authoritative sources.

  • Source formulas from peer-reviewed studies
  • Cross-reference with WHO and CDC guidelines
  • Verify with medical textbooks
  • Consult recent research papers
Step 3

Development & Testing

Our developers implement calculators with rigorous testing against known results.

  • Implement formulas with precision
  • Test edge cases and boundaries
  • Validate against published examples
  • Ensure mobile responsiveness
Step 4

Review & Feedback

Each calculator undergoes internal QA with user feedback collected via email.

  • Internal team review
  • User feedback via contact channels
  • Accuracy verification
  • Usability assessment
Step 5

Publication

Only after passing all checks is a calculator published on our platform.

  • Final accuracy verification
  • SEO optimization
  • Documentation completion
  • Live deployment
Step 6

Continuous Updates

We regularly review and update calculators to reflect new medical guidelines.

  • Monitor medical guideline changes
  • Track user feedback
  • Update formulas as needed
  • Improve user interface
