Review cadence

Medical content is reviewed under two modes:

  • New content review — all new educational articles and algorithm threshold changes are reviewed by Dr. Gupta before publication.
  • Ongoing monitoring — Dr. Gupta monitors FixFirst's threshold decisions and content claims on a rolling weekly basis, flagging any discrepancy with current clinical guidance.
  • Quarterly full review — all published educational content is cross-checked against the most recent versions of its cited guidelines at least once per quarter.

When content is updated following a review, the "Last medically reviewed" date on the article page is updated accordingly.

Limitations

Medical review at FixFirst covers the accuracy of educational content against published clinical guidelines. It does not:

  • Replace a consultation with your own doctor or specialist.
  • Account for your personal medical history, concurrent conditions, or medications.
  • Constitute medical advice for any individual.
  • Provide diagnosis or treatment recommendations.

Dr. Gupta's review confirms that FixFirst's published thresholds and claims are consistent with major clinical guidelines at the time of review. It does not mean those thresholds are appropriate for any specific person reading the content.
