How Hoom Health will cover new medical research

The editorial process Hoom Health will use to distinguish early research from established evidence and keep public health content accurate and useful.

New medical findings can be useful, but a headline does not show whether a result is preliminary, broadly applicable, or ready to influence care. Hoom Health will cover medical research with those distinctions made explicit.

Start with the original evidence

Research articles should link to the original study or an authoritative clinical source whenever possible. A press release or news report may provide context, but it should not replace the underlying evidence.

Each article should identify the type of evidence, the population studied, important limitations, and the date of publication. When later evidence changes the conclusion, the article should be updated or corrected visibly.

Separate evidence from advice

The blog can explain what researchers found and why it may matter. It will not turn an early finding into a diagnosis or treatment recommendation for an individual reader.

Health-related articles that interpret symptoms, tests, conditions, or treatments require a named qualified reviewer and a meaningful review date before publication. Product announcements and general editorial-process articles do not substitute for that review.

Keep AI accountable

AI tools may assist with drafting or structure, but a human author remains responsible for every published article. Citations, medical claims, and descriptions of study results must be checked against the source before publication.

Readers can report factual concerns through the Hoom Health corrections process. Material corrections should be made clearly rather than silently changing the record.
