Editorial Policy

Our Commitment

Corterve publishes health and clinical-research content to help patients and caregivers understand medical conditions, treatment options, and how clinical trials work. Because this is "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) information that people may rely on when making health decisions, we hold it to a high standard of accuracy, transparency, and sourcing. This policy explains how our content is created, reviewed, sourced, corrected, and kept current.

How Our Content Is Created (AI Disclosure)

We are transparent about how our articles are produced. Many Corterve articles are initially drafted with the assistance of AI language models as part of an automated content pipeline. That pipeline is designed with guardrails at every stage:

• Topics are selected from reputable health-news and public-health signals.
• Sources are curated and restricted to a verified list of credible domains.
• Draft claims are checked against those sources by an automated fact-checking stage.
• Content containing unverifiable claims or placeholder text is rejected, not published.
• A structured list of the sources used is stored and displayed with each article.

AI assistance does not replace editorial responsibility. AI-assisted drafts are subject to editorial review before publication, and articles that make specific medical claims are intended for review by a qualified medical reviewer. Where an article has not yet received a named medical review, no reviewer is claimed — we never attribute a review to a person who did not perform one.

Medical Review Process

Articles that describe diagnoses, treatments, drugs, or trial eligibility are intended to be reviewed by a licensed clinician or appropriately credentialed health professional. When an article has been medically reviewed, we display:

• The reviewer's name and credentials (e.g., MD, PharmD, RN, MPH).
• The date the medical review was completed.
• The date the content was last verified for accuracy and currency.

Reviewers confirm that the content is consistent with current evidence, that risks and benefits are described fairly and without overstatement, and that the article does not substitute for individualized medical advice.

Sourcing Standards

We prioritize primary and authoritative sources. Preferred sources include:

• ClinicalTrials.gov — trial registrations, eligibility, status, and sponsors.
• PubMed / peer-reviewed journals — published research and systematic reviews.
• U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) — approvals, labels, and safety communications.
• NIH, CDC, and WHO — public-health guidance and epidemiological data.

Each article links to the specific sources it relies on in a "Sources" section. We avoid citing press releases or secondary reporting as the sole basis for a medical claim, and we do not invent statistics, study results, or institution names.

Independence and Conflicts of Interest

Corterve earns revenue by connecting patients with clinical trials. Our editorial content is not a paid placement for any specific sponsor, and inclusion of a trial or treatment in an article is not an endorsement. Content is written to inform, not to advertise a particular study.

Corrections Policy

If we learn that an article contains an error, we correct it promptly. Substantive corrections update the article's "last updated" and "last verified" dates. To report a possible error, email support@corterve.com with the article title and the specific concern, and our editorial team will review it.

Freshness and Re-Verification

Medical evidence changes over time. We re-verify published health content on a recurring schedule, update or clearly date older articles, and remove or redirect content that is no longer accurate. Each reviewed article shows when it was last verified.

Not Medical Advice

Corterve content is for general educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider about your individual situation before making medical decisions or changing treatment.
