Editorial policy
How we write about health
Health information can help, and it can hurt if it’s wrong. These are the rules we follow before anything about health goes on this site.
Where we are today
No health guides yet.
We haven’t published any health guides. The pages about the Kinsu app describe what the app does, and say what it doesn’t. We’ll publish health guides only when a qualified reviewer, named on the page, has checked each one.
Until then, nothing here is medical advice, and we won’t pretend otherwise.
The rules
What every health article must meet.
- A named, qualified reviewer. A doctor reviews medical content, a dietitian reviews diet charts, and a paediatrician reviews anything about children’s vaccination. The reviewer’s name and the review date are on the page. If we can’t find a reviewer, we don’t publish.
- Sources for every claim and number. We cite primary sources, such as clinical guidelines and government bodies, and Indian sources where they exist. The sources are listed at the end of the article.
- No dosing advice. We don’t say how much of a named medicine to take. About missed doses we give only general rules and send you to your doctor, your pharmacist or the leaflet. If you’re unsure, don’t take an extra dose.
- No “stop” or “change”. We never tell you to start, stop or change a medicine. That’s a decision for you and your doctor.
- No cures, no promises. We don’t claim to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything, and we don’t say a habit or an app “improves outcomes”.
- A clear “see a doctor” note. Each guide says when to get medical help.
- Plain language. Short sentences, Indian units and examples, and no jargon without an explanation.
How articles are made
Written by people, checked by an expert.
A member of our team writes each article from its sources. We may use AI tools to help draft or edit, but a person checks every sentence against the sources, and the reviewer approves the final version. We don’t publish text that no person has read and checked.
We don’t encourage anyone to upload their health records to third-party AI tools, and our articles never suggest it.
Updates and corrections
When something is wrong, we fix it and say so.
Each article shows its published date and its last-updated date. The updated date changes only when the content changes, not when we tidy the layout.
If you find a mistake, write to kinsu.health@gmail.com. We’ll check it, correct it, and note the correction on the article. If a correction affects health advice, we’ll ask the reviewer to look again.
The rest of the site
Pages about the app follow the same honesty.
Everything we say about Kinsu is checked against what the app actually does before it goes live. We don’t invent user numbers, ratings, reviews or press mentions, and we list what the app doesn’t do. Comparisons with other apps are factual, dated and fair.
The breathing timer is a free tool on this website, not medical advice. To see who is behind the site, read about us.
