Gathering the latest from the medical wires…
Common questions
Where does this medical news come from?
Stories are gathered automatically from trusted public sources: the World Health Organization, the US FDA, the National Institutes of Health, the CDC, Harvard Health and the major medical research wires ScienceDaily and Medical Xpress. Every story links to its original source.
How often is the medical news updated?
The feed refreshes automatically every 30 minutes, around the clock. The newest stories appear at the top, and the ticker carries the latest headlines.
Who explains the news in simple terms?
Each headline gets a one-sentence takeaway written for a general reader, generated automatically and bound by the same rules as the rest of the site: no jargon, no hype, no medical advice. For what a story means for your own health, talk to your doctor or book a session.
Should I change my treatment because of a news story?
No. News reports usually cover single studies, and single studies are rarely the full story. Never start or stop a medicine because of a headline. Bring the story to your own doctor, or ask a doctor here to put it in context for you.
One study is rarely the full story. For your own health, talk to your doctor.
