Medical review policy
Current status: no Light Years guide has been reviewed by a clinician yet. Every guide says so in its byline.
What clinical review means
A licensed clinician reads a guide for medical accuracy, safety and balance, checks it against the cited sources, and either approves it or asks for changes. It is different from our editorial fact-check, which every guide already has.
Who may review
- A clinician licensed and in good standing in the jurisdiction the guide covers (for example a physician, pharmacist or nurse practitioner).
- Their licence must be verifiable on a public register, and we link to it.
- They disclose conflicts of interest, including any relationship with a medication manufacturer.
- They have agreed in writing to review, and have actually reviewed the specific page.
How a reviewer is shown
Only after all of the above: the guide names the reviewer, their credentials and the review date, and links to their bio with licence number, jurisdiction and conflicts. Until then, the guide says it has not been clinically reviewed. We never list a placeholder or an unnamed reviewer.
What review does not mean
A reviewer checks a page of general information. They do not endorse the Light Years app, and a reviewed guide is still not medical advice for you.
