Editorial Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
This site publishes explanations of common lab tests and general wellness guidance for readers in India. Below is exactly how that content is produced, what it is allowed to say, and what it is not — including the things we have not put in place yet.
1. What this content is, and is not
Everything here is general health information, not medical advice. It does not diagnose, it does not prescribe, and it is not a substitute for a consultation. It cannot be: a reference range belongs to the laboratory that printed it, and what any result means depends on your history, your medicines and an examination that a web page cannot perform.
Every article is written to send you to a clinician with better questions — not to help you avoid one.
2. Who writes it
Articles are researched and written by the editorial team at Codeion Technologies, which builds and operates this service, and published under the byline Poshan editorial. We publish under a single team byline rather than inventing individual author personas, because a name with no verifiable person behind it tells a reader nothing.
3. Clinical review — what we have not done yet
We would rather say this plainly than leave it ambiguous: this site's articles are not currently reviewed by a practising clinician. No article carries a "medically reviewed" badge, because none has been through that process.
We are working to engage a qualified reviewer. When that is in place, the reviewer will be named here with their qualification and registration number, and reviewed articles will carry the reviewer's name and the date of review. Until then, the absence of that badge is accurate rather than an oversight — and you should weigh what you read here accordingly, alongside advice from your own doctor.
4. The rules every article must pass
These are not aspirations. They are enforced automatically, and an article that breaks one cannot be published:
- No invented statistics. Prevalence figures and percentages are the easiest thing to get wrong and the hardest for a reader to check, so our articles make qualitative statements instead of quoting numbers we cannot stand behind. Reference ranges are the one exception, and each article says they belong to the issuing laboratory.
- No self-treatment advice. No article tells you to start, stop or change a medicine, or to treat a finding yourself.
- Every article defers to a clinician and says so in its own words, not only in a footer.
- Internal links must resolve. A link to a test explainer that no longer exists is a broken promise, so links are checked rather than trusted.
- Search metadata must be honest and within display limits, so a headline in a search result matches the page it opens.
5. Where the material comes from
Articles are researched against public health guidance and reference material from recognised bodies — among them the World Health Organization, the Indian Council of Medical Research, India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the National Institutes of Health, and the UK's National Health Service. Where an article draws on a specific body of guidance, it says so and links out, so you can read the source rather than take our word for it.
6. Dates, updates and corrections
Every article shows when it was published and, where it has been revised, when it was last updated. Health guidance changes; an undated page is not trustworthy.
If you find something inaccurate, out of date, or unclear, please tell us at sales@codeionai.com. We would rather hear it from you than leave it standing. Corrections that change an article's meaning are noted on the article itself rather than made silently.
7. Advertising and independence
Where this site carries advertising, advertisers have no say in what we publish, no sight of articles before publication, and no influence on the guidance given. Advertising is not accepted on pages where it would sit alongside somebody's own health results. Nothing on this site is sponsored content.
8. Your data
What happens to the report you upload, and to the values you enter, is covered in the Privacy Policy. In short: your health data is used to build your plan and is not sold.
