We pull real patient questions from public Reddit health communities (r/AskDocs, r/diabetes, r/menopause, etc.).

A second AI independently scores each answer for accuracy and citation fidelity before publication. Answers below the safety threshold or touching emergency, dosing, or pediatric topics are queued for human review and never auto-published.

This is not medical advice. Always speak with your own doctor before making decisions about your health.
