AI Use & Editorial Policy

Effective Date 3.10.2026

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 EDITORIAL MISSION

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:

  • Accurate and evidence-based
  • Clear and understandable
  • Culturally sensitive and community-informed
  • Empowering and solutions-oriented
  • Free from harmful bias or stigmatizing language
  • Independently reviewed prior to publication

Our editorial team maintains final authority over all content published on our platforms.

HOW WE CREATE CONTENT

Content published by BD may be developed through:

  • Internal editorial staff
  • Medical professionals and subject-matter experts
  • Freelance writers and contributors
  • Expert interviews
  • Sponsored content partnerships (clearly labeled)

All content undergoes editorial review before publication. Depending on the subject matter, content may also undergo additional review by qualified medical professionals.

OUR USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

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 content is:

  • Reviewed by human editors
  • Fact-checked against credible sources
  • Evaluated for bias, tone, and cultural sensitivity
  • Reviewed for alignment with our editorial standards

We do not rely on AI-generated output without independent verification.

AI TRANSPARENCY

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.

FACT-CHECKING & SOURCING STANDARDS

Health and medical information published by BD is based on reputable and authoritative sources, including:

  • Peer-reviewed medical journals
  • Government and public health agencies
  • Academic medical institutions
  • Recognized professional medical associations
  • Clinical trial registries
  • Credentialed expert interviews

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.

ELEVATED REVIEW FOR SENSITIVE TOPICS

Certain content categories require enhanced review prior to publication, including:

  • Medical treatments and health claims
  • Mental health
  • Sexual health
  • Scientific or technical medical analysis
  • Race and culture-related health disparities
  • Sponsored or advertiser-related content

Where appropriate, these topics may be reviewed by qualified medical professionals.

AUDIENCE-SPECIFIC STANDARDS

BD serves multiple audiences, including healthcare professionals, consumers, and Spanish-speaking or culturally-targeted communities.

We tailor content appropriately:

  • Healthcare professional content may include clinical terminology
  • Consumer content prioritizes plain language and actionable guidance
  • Spanish-language and culturally-targeted content reflect linguistic accuracy and cultural nuance

We avoid stigmatizing language, deficit-based framing, or harmful generalizations regarding race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or health status.

SPONSORED CONTENT & EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE

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.

DATA SECURITY & RESPONSIBLE AI USE

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.

CONTENT UPDATES & CORRECTIONS

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.
