BlackDoctor, Inc. ("BD," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to delivering accurate, culturally grounded, empowering, and medically responsible health information to healthcare professionals, consumers, and Spanish-speaking and culturally targeted audiences.
This AI Use & Editorial Policy explains how we create, review, and publish content on our platforms, including how we use artificial intelligence tools and how we maintain editorial integrity.
Our mission is to provide trustworthy, evidence-based health information that reflects the lived experiences, cultural contexts, and healthcare realities of the communities we serve.
We are committed to publishing content that is:
Our editorial team maintains final authority over all content published on our platforms.
Content published by BD may be developed through:
All content undergoes editorial review before publication. Depending on the subject matter, content may also undergo additional review by qualified medical professionals.
BD may use artificial intelligence ("AI") tools to assist with certain aspects of content development, including research organization, drafting support, summarization, formatting, or creative ideation.
AI is used as a support tool only. It does not replace human expertise, editorial oversight, or medical review.
All AI-assisted editorial content is:
We do not rely on AI-generated output without independent verification.
The standards described in this section apply to editorial content we research, write, and publish. They do not apply to our AI-powered interactive tools. Output from those tools is generated automatically in real time in response to what you enter, and is not reviewed by a human editor or medical professional before you receive it. Those tools are described under "AI-Powered Tools" below and in our AI Products & Tools Disclosure.
If AI materially contributes to the drafting, structuring, or research of a published piece of content, we disclose that assistance in accordance with our transparency standards.
We believe transparency builds trust and helps readers understand how content is produced.
In addition to publishing editorial content, BD offers interactive tools that use artificial intelligence. These include Wellbot, a professional education simulation for healthcare professionals, and Health on Point, a tool that helps consumers prepare for a healthcare visit.
These tools work differently from our published content in three ways that matter:
These tools are educational. They do not diagnose conditions, recommend treatment, provide medical or mental health advice, or replace evaluation by a licensed provider. A report generated at the end of a session is an educational summary — not a medical record, a diagnosis, a clinical assessment, or a professional credential.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
Complete terms, disclosures, and privacy practices for these tools are set out in our AI Products & Tools Disclosure, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy.
Health and medical information published by BD is based on reputable and authoritative sources, including:
Where appropriate, we include citations and references to support factual claims.
We do not rely on unverified blogs, anecdotal reports, or non-credentialed sources as primary authorities for medical information.
Certain content categories require enhanced review prior to publication, including:
Where appropriate, these topics may be reviewed by qualified medical professionals.
BD serves multiple audiences, including healthcare professionals, consumers, and Spanish-speaking or culturally targeted communities.
We tailor content appropriately:
We avoid stigmatizing language, deficit-based framing, or harmful generalizations regarding race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or health status.
BD maintains strict editorial independence.
Sponsored content is clearly labeled. Advertisers do not control editorial conclusions, medical claims, or factual content unless explicitly disclosed.
All sponsored health-related claims must be substantiated and reviewed in accordance with our editorial standards.
Our commercial relationships do not influence our commitment to accuracy, integrity, or community trust.
We do not input confidential, proprietary, personal, or embargoed information into AI tools in connection with content development.
We use approved platforms and maintain internal controls designed to protect data security and editorial integrity.
Our AI-powered interactive tools necessarily process the information users choose to provide during a session in order to function. That information may be processed by third-party artificial intelligence providers acting on our behalf. How this information is collected, used, retained, shared, and deleted — including whether it is used to train or improve artificial intelligence models — is described in our Privacy Policy and our AI Products & Tools Disclosure.
Health information evolves. We periodically review and update content to reflect new research, regulatory guidance, and medical standards.
If errors are identified, we correct them promptly.
