HealthTech

Frequently asked about HealthTech

What does HealthTech coverage include?

Digital health platforms (One Medical, Carbon Health), medical AI (diagnostic imaging, ambient scribes like Abridge and Suki), telehealth services, continuous glucose monitors (Dexcom Stelo, Levels), drug-management apps, and FDA-regulated consumer devices. We do not give medical advice — we cover technology.

How do you verify health claims in articles?

Health claims are sourced to peer-reviewed studies (PubMed-indexed), FDA filings, official clinical guidelines, or direct vendor documentation. When we cite an effect size or risk reduction, the study is linked. Speculative or pre-print findings are flagged as such. We do not run "10 superfoods" content.

Are health AI tools safe to use without a doctor?

AI symptom checkers and ambient scribes are tools, not substitutes for medical judgment. They are useful for triage, second opinions, and reducing paperwork burden — not for diagnosis. Anything that affects medication, treatment decisions, or chronic-condition management belongs in a clinical relationship.
