All our articles are written by humans.
You should know whether a health article was written by a machine. Ours aren’t. Here’s what we use AI for, and what we never do.
- Who writes itA person, every time
- Who checks itA licensed clinician

What we use it for
Finding research. An AI tool points us to studies faster than a search box can. Then we read the studies ourselves.
Tidying up writing a person has already done — for example shorter sentences, simpler words, and a clearer order.
Creating graphics or thumbnails
Assisting with repetitive tasks, like typing up a recording.
What we never use it for
Writing an entire article. A person does that.
Standing in for a clinical reviewer.
Reading anything private you send us.
Inventing a quote, a case or somebody’s story.
We never rely on AI to find our sources.
AI tools make up references all the time. The journal looks real, the authors look plausible, the link is the right shape, and the study just doesn’t exist.
So our writers read every study themselves. And we check them all before we publish anything.
Two names on every article.
The writer
Their name is on the article. They are responsible for what they write, including anything an AI tool helped with.
The doctor
A licensed clinician reads it before you do, and their name and credentials are on it too.
Never a machine
AI is never an author and never gets a byline. That follows the rule medical journals use: a tool can’t be an author, because it can’t answer for the work.
