Editorial policy. How these pages are written.

Which sources we use.

Sources are preferred in this order. A lower tier is used where a higher one does not answer the question.

• Public-health bodies — such as the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US National Institutes of Health.
• Professional societies — their consensus statements, standards and position statements.
• Peer-reviewed reviews — systematic reviews and meta-analyses first, then narrative reviews.
• Individual peer-reviewed studies — for a specific finding, with the study's own limits stated next to it.

How a source is cited.

Each source is named in plain words by its publisher or journal and its year, with what it found. It is cited for what it establishes and nothing further.

Its limits are stated next to it rather than left out: a small sample, a narrow population, older devices, a laboratory setting, or authorship by the person who developed the method under review.

Associations are described as associations, not as causes. Population recommendations are described as population recommendations, not as personal targets. Evidence about one kind of measurement is not stretched to cover another — research on blood-based measures of ageing, for example, is never presented as support for a number from a wrist.

Every source is confirmed live before it is cited, on a date the page states. A source that cannot be confirmed is not cited, however relevant it looks.

Research and product, kept apart.

Educational sections describe published research. Product sections describe Omnisio, using only what Omnisio already publishes about itself on its own pages. The two are kept in separate sections so that evidence about the field is not read as evidence about our product — none of the research cited on these pages was carried out on Omnisio or on an Omnisio device.

When a page describes a published method, it says plainly that the method is not Omnisio's. How Omnisio's readings are produced is not published, and no educational section implies otherwise.

Where the research does not support something Omnisio shows, the page says so, including when that is against our interest.

Facts about other companies.

Comparison pages state facts about other companies' products. Those facts are handled more strictly than anything else on the site, because they are claims about someone else.

• First-party sources only. A fact about a competitor comes from that company's own pages — product pages, help centre, published pricing. Third-party reviews, forums and news reports are not used as sources for it.
• Every fact is dated. Each one carries the date it was checked against the live page.
• Re-reviewed at least every 90 days. Competitor facts are re-checked on a schedule of no more than 90 days, and sooner when a product changes.
• Stale facts are flagged, then re-verified or removed. A fact that has gone out of date is not left standing while it waits.
• 'Could not verify' means omitted. If a fact cannot be confirmed on a first-party page, it is left out — and the page says what was left out, rather than leaving a gap that looks accidental.
• Named to identify, not to judge. Other products are named so a reader knows what is being compared. We do not characterise the accuracy of another company's readings.

The wellness boundary

Omnisio is a wellness product for general lifestyle use. Neither the app nor the devices used with it hold FDA, CE-MDR or TITCK medical device clearance, and nothing in it is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Every editorial page is written inside that boundary.

In practice, no page describes a reading in diagnostic, screening or risk-assessment terms, and no page tells a reader what their own number means for their health or for how long they will live. Recovery, HRV, sleep stages, Bio-Age and every other score are described as estimates from consumer-grade sensors. Where something warrants attention, the page says to speak to a physician.

Who writes these pages.

Every editorial page is written by the Omnisio Editorial Team. No page names an author, editor or reviewer, and none is attributed to an individual.

These pages are not medically reviewed. No doctor reviews them, and Omnisio has no medical advisory board. They are educational writing by the company that makes the product, held to the source standards on this page. They are not medical advice.

Corrections

If you find a mistake — a misread source, an out-of-date fact, a claim that goes further than its evidence — write to support@omnisio.app and name the page and the sentence.

When a correction is needed, it is made on the page itself, and the page's Updated date moves to the day it was made. Every editorial page shows the date it was published and the date it was last changed, so you can see how old what you are reading is.

We do not promise a response time. We do correct what is wrong.
