- We cite reputable sources such as WHO, NHS, CDC, AHA, ADA, and peer-reviewed journals

1 Our Editorial Mission
My Health Chart exists to make accurate, evidence-based health information accessible to everyone — free of charge, free of jargon, and free of commercial influence. Our editorial mission is built on a simple belief: people deserve to understand their health, and that understanding should never depend on their income, location, or access to a hospital portal.
Every piece of content we publish — whether a 50-word tool description or a 2,000-word clinical guide — is held to the same standard: it must be accurate, sourced, reviewed by a qualified physician, and written in language a non-medical reader can understand.

2 Who Creates Our Content
Content on My Health Chart is created through a combination of our founding medical team and trained health writers, with every piece passing through physician review before publication. Our content contributors include:
- Founding Physicians: Board-certified doctors across internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology, and sports medicine who author and review our highest-priority clinical content.
- Medical Editors: Healthcare professionals who fact-check, edit, and verify clinical accuracy across all published content.
- Health Writers: Trained writers with healthcare or science communication backgrounds who draft articles under physician guidance.
- Guest Contributors: Occasionally, external healthcare professionals contribute specialised content, which is clearly attributed and still subject to our full review process.

5 Sources We Trust
My Health Chart prioritises information from recognised, authoritative health organisations and peer-reviewed research. We do not rely on forums, unverified social media claims, or commercial product pages as primary sources for clinical information.
| Source Type | Examples We Reference |
|---|---|
| Global Health Bodies | World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) |
| National Health Services | UK National Health Service (NHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) |
| Specialty Medical Associations | American Heart Association (AHA), American Diabetes Association (ADA) |
| Peer-Reviewed Journals | The Lancet, JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, and similar publications |
| Clinical Practice Guidelines | Official guidelines published by recognised medical colleges and societies |
Where clinical guidance differs between organisations, we note this and present the most widely accepted, current consensus view.

6 How We Label Reviewed Content
To maintain transparency, every article and guide on My Health Chart displays a visible review label, similar to the example below:
✓ Medically ReviewedReviewed by Dr. Mark Chen, Cardiologist · Last reviewed: May 2026
This label tells you exactly who reviewed the content and when, so you can judge for yourself how current the information is. If an article has not yet been reviewed by our medical team, it will not be published.

7 Keeping Content Current
Medical knowledge changes constantly, and we treat content maintenance as seriously as content creation. Our process for keeping information current includes:
- Scheduled review cycles for high-traffic and clinically sensitive articles, typically every 6–12 months.
- Immediate review triggers whenever a major health authority (WHO, AHA, CDC, NHS, ADA) updates relevant guidelines.
- Continuous monitoring of reader-submitted accuracy reports.
- A visible “Last Reviewed” date on every article so readers always know how current the content is.

✅ We Welcome Scrutiny
If you are a healthcare professional, researcher, or informed reader and believe any content on My Health Chart contains an error, we genuinely want to hear from you. Accuracy matters more to us than being right the first time.
9 Editorial Independence & Conflicts of Interest
My Health Chart maintains strict separation between our editorial content and any commercial relationships. Our editorial independence is protected by the following commitments:
- We do not accept payment from pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, or healthcare providers in exchange for favourable coverage.
- Health tool reference ranges and clinical recommendations are never influenced by sponsorship or advertising relationships.
- If a founding physician or contributor has a relevant financial interest related to a topic they write about, this is disclosed at the bottom of the article.
- Inclusion in our Doctor Directory is based on credential verification, not payment, though we may offer optional premium directory features in the future that are clearly separated from editorial content.
- Our medical reviewers exercise full clinical judgment independent of any business considerations.

10 Health Tools & Calculators Standards
Our interactive health tools — including the BMI calculator, blood pressure chart, heart rate calculator, and lab result interpreter — are held to the same editorial rigour as written content. Each tool is built using:
- Validated clinical formulas published in peer-reviewed literature or official guidelines (such as the WHO BMI formula or the AHA blood pressure categories).
- Reference ranges reviewed and approved by our medical team before launch.
- Clear, visible labelling of which guideline or formula each tool is based on.
- Periodic review whenever the underlying clinical guideline is updated
Tools are reviewed by our medical team for both clinical accuracy and appropriate framing — ensuring outputs are presented as educational reference points, not diagnostic conclusions.

11 Doctor Directory Listing Standards
Healthcare professionals listed in our Doctor Directory are subject to a verification process before being added. While we cannot independently confirm every detail of a physician’s ongoing practice, we apply the following editorial standard at the time of listing:
- Confirmation of active board certification in the listed specialty, where verifiable through public licensing databases.
- Accurate representation of the physician’s listed years of experience and areas of focus.
- Removal of any listing found to contain false or misleading credential information.
- No editorial ranking or favouritism based on payment — directory order is not influenced by sponsorship.
