How DxNEWS works
DxNEWS is an AI-assisted medical technology news and evidence summary service. It exists to answer one question clearly for every story: what's actually confirmed, and what's only claimed?
What DxNEWS is not
DxNEWS does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. It does not evaluate whether a product is safe or effective for any individual. Nothing on this site should be used to make a medical decision. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional and verify anything important against the original source.
How a story gets published
- Sources are checked on a schedule — not continuously, and not every source at the same frequency.
- New items are compared against sources already covered to avoid duplicates.
- An AI model extracts the specific claims being made and where each one comes from.
- Claims are separated into what's directly supported by a regulatory record or peer-reviewed source, versus what's only stated by a company or one uncorroborated source.
- A fixed set of rules — not an AI judgment call — decides whether a story is published. High-risk claims (diagnosis, treatment, cure, safety) are only published when they come directly from an authoritative source, quoted narrowly.
- There is currently no human editorial review step before publication. This is disclosed here deliberately, and is why the publication rules above are intentionally conservative — a story is skipped rather than published when the evidence is unclear.
Source tiers
Every source is labeled by tier, shown on each story:
- Tier 1 — regulators, government health agencies, peer-reviewed journals, official trial registries.
- Tier 2 — official organizations: manufacturers, universities, hospitals, research institutions.
- Tier 3 — established independent news and medical publications.
- Tier 4 — social media, blogs, aggregators. Used for discovery only, never as the sole basis for a published claim.
Corrections
If a published story is found to be materially wrong, it will be updated with a visible correction rather than silently edited.
