01
Evidence before assertion
We aim to distinguish what a source establishes from what remains uncertain, preliminary, or interpretive. A compelling claim does not become stronger because it is repeated.
Trust & accountability
The standards behind our reporting.
Health AI Central is built to help readers see what is supported, what is still uncertain, and where the evidence came from. These standards guide our reporting, analysis, source practices, disclosures, and corrections.
Editorial foundation
The reader should be able to follow the reasoning.
We cover the path from scientific discovery through clinical validation, regulatory review, operations, and real-world adoption. Our work is intended to bring disciplined context to a fast-moving field, not to substitute certainty for evidence.
02
Source context matters
We work to connect factual claims to the study, regulatory record, public document, company statement, or reporting that supports them, and to retain the context needed to interpret a source responsibly.
03
Independence is visible
Editorial decisions are guided by relevance, evidence, and public interest. Commercial relationships do not determine coverage, and sponsored work is identified and separated from editorial judgment.
04
Corrections improve the record
When credible information shows that a material claim needs correction or clarification, we assess it and make the record clearer for readers.
Sources & evidence
Traceable claims, interpreted with care.
We prioritize primary documents and direct evidence when they are available, including scientific publications, clinical-trial records, regulatory materials, public data, and official statements. We also use reliable reporting when it adds independently reported context.
A source is not a conclusion by itself. We consider study design, population, timing, limitations, regulatory status, and the difference between a preliminary signal and established practice. When the record is incomplete, we aim to say so.
Review research sources & methodologyIndependence & disclosures
Clear boundaries between reporting and promotion.
Reporting and analysis are selected and framed according to editorial relevance, evidence, and public interest. Advertising, sponsorships, and other commercial relationships do not determine what we cover or how we assess it.
If Health AI Central publishes sponsored work or other paid material, it will be clearly labeled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content. We also work to make material source limitations and conflicts visible when they are relevant to a reader's understanding.
Company names in our articles link to the company's profile when the company is in our directory; links are added automatically by matching the company's approved names and are checked by sample.
Systems & analysis
Tools can organize information. They do not erase uncertainty.
We use structured systems and editorial tools to collect, organize, classify, and summarize publicly available information. Those systems help make a large and changing evidence base more navigable, but they do not make a source more reliable than it is.
Our reporting and research intelligence are designed to preserve the distinction between source material, data classification, and editorial analysis. Readers should consult original sources and qualified professionals when making clinical, operational, regulatory, or other high-stakes decisions.
Article images come from the original source when we can use them. When a source image is not available, we use an AI-generated illustration and label it below the image.
How news briefs are produced
Summarized with AI, checked against the source, approved by our editor.
Our daily news briefs are summarized by AI agents from one published source, inside an editorial process. Every brief goes through the same steps before it is published. Our weekly AI deep dives go through the same steps but draw on at least four published sources from three independent sites, including at least one primary or authoritative source; they also carry the Health AI Central Editorial Agent byline. Deep dives written by individual authors carry the author’s byline.
01
Story selection
Each day we choose the stories most relevant to the health AI industry and our readers, guided by the engagement our articles receive on this site. Candidates come from journals, regulatory agencies, official feeds and health-technology news, plus suggestions from our editor.
02
AI summary of the source
The Health AI Central Editorial Agent, an AI model (currently Claude, by Anthropic), summarizes the story from its source. Our system first retrieves the source’s full text from its public address. If it cannot, the story is discarded.
03
Claim-by-claim source check
Additional AI agents, each working in a separate, stateless request, compare the summary with the source claim by claim, checking numbers, names, dates and attribution. A brief with a claim that is overstated, unsupported or contradicted is sent back for revision or deleted.
04
Image check
We use the source’s own image when we may. Otherwise we create an AI illustration and label it below the image. A separate AI agent checks each illustration for accuracy and fit with the story, and illustrations that fail are regenerated.
05
Approved by Editor
Our editor, Billy Oglesby, receives the exact brief, image and full verification report, then approves it, rejects it, or returns it with feedback. Only the approved version is published, marked “Approved by Editor.”
Each article lists its sources at the end. If you find an error, our corrections policy explains how to report it and what we do next. Our research data pages are produced differently; the research methodology describes how.
Corrections
A correction is part of accountable reporting.
If you believe a published item contains a material factual error, an outdated record, a broken source link, or missing context that changes the meaning of a claim, please let us know. We assess credible concerns against the available record and make appropriate corrections or clarifications.
