Review process
How WellnessCalcs reviews its calculators
WellnessCalcs uses a practical review process to keep calculator pages clear, sourced, limited, and useful for general education.
What gets reviewed
Before a calculator or guide is updated, the page is checked for a clear purpose, a visible method, understandable examples, realistic limitations, and links to relevant sources when a public formula or health category is discussed.
- Formula or method explanation
- Input labels, units, and result wording
- Common situations where the estimate may be wrong
- Internal links to related calculators and guides
- Source links that support the method or context
- Conservative wording for health, nutrition, body weight, and pregnancy topics
Calculator result checks
Calculator behavior is checked with normal inputs, invalid inputs, unit conversions, reset behavior, mobile form layout, and example scenarios. These checks are meant to catch obvious calculation or usability problems. They do not prove that a formula is correct for every person.
Source and limitation checks
Source links are selected because they support a formula, definition, screening category, or safety limitation. A source is not used as decoration. When a page discusses health decisions, the page should also explain when professional guidance is safer than relying on an online estimate.
What WellnessCalcs does not do
WellnessCalcs does not diagnose conditions, prescribe diets, review symptoms, provide prenatal care, interpret lab results, or replace a clinician. Children, pregnancy care, eating-disorder history, chronic disease, medication effects, unexplained weight change, and symptoms require qualified professional guidance.
Corrections
Visitors can report calculator issues, unclear explanations, broken links, outdated references, or confusing wording through the contact page. Useful reports include the page URL, the inputs used, the result shown, and what seemed incorrect.
