Fact-Checking & Sourcing

Editorial Policy & Medical Review Process

How HealthRovia creates, fact-checks, and continually updates health guides and calculators.

1. Rigorous Medical Fact-Checking

Health information must be accurate and actionable. Our editorial process begins with in-depth literature reviews of peer-reviewed clinical research published in recognized biomedical databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, The Lancet, JAMA, and the New England Journal of Medicine.

2. Clinically Validated Calculator Formulas

Each of our 20 interactive health tools utilizes verified physiological models:

  • BMI & Healthy Weight: World Health Organization (WHO) international classification thresholds.
  • Blood Pressure Category: American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) standards.
  • TDEE & BMR: Mifflin-St Jeor equation and Katch-McArdle formula.
  • Daily Protein & Macro Distribution: International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) and USDA Dietary Guidelines.
  • Pregnancy Due Date: Naegele’s Rule (280-day gestational standard).
  • Target Heart Rate: Karvonen Formula with heart rate reserve (HRR) methodology.

3. Transparent Corrections & Updates

Medical science evolves continuously. Our clinical team routinely audits previously published content and calculators. Whenever clinical guidelines change, we promptly update the text and algorithms.

4. Independence & Advertising Integrity

Our editorial evaluations, fact-checks, and calculator algorithms are strictly independent and never influenced by third-party advertisers or commercial sponsors. All advertisements are distinctly marked as "ADVERTISEMENT".
