Editorial Standards

How PosturaScreen writes, reviews, sources, and updates its educational content — and how to flag a mistake when we make one.

Our editorial mission

PosturaScreen publishes educational content about posture, ergonomics, and the technology behind quantified posture screening. The content is intended for general awareness and to help readers understand what PosturaScreen measures. It is not medical advice and does not replace a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Every article that touches health concepts carries an explicit disclaimer to that effect.

Who writes our content

Articles are produced by the PosturaScreen Editorial Team. The team is composed of the company founders and product staff — engineers and movement-science enthusiasts. Our voice as authors is "informational and technical," not "clinical authority." When you read a PosturaScreen article, you are reading from people who build a posture screening tool, not from licensed clinicians.

See our editorial team statement for our policy on team identity and article-level reviewer disclosure.

Who reviews our content

Two layers of review apply, depending on subject matter:

• Internal review — every article passes through at least one team-member review for clarity, factual accuracy, and consistency with our published methodology.
• External medical review — articles that touch directly on clinical decision-making (currently limited; see "scope of medical review" below) are reviewed by a licensed physiotherapist or chiropractor before publication. Reviewed articles display a "Medically reviewed by [name, credentials, license number / public LinkedIn]" line beneath the article title and a "Last reviewed: [date]" stamp.

Scope of medical review

We are honest that PosturaScreen does not have the resources of a large medical publisher. As of 2026, only a small number of pillar articles undergo formal medical review. All other articles are written as definitional, descriptive, or technical content — explaining what something is, what the research literature reports, or how our tool measures it — and explicitly avoid prescriptive medical advice (exercises to "fix" a condition, symptom-to-diagnosis decisions, treatment recommendations).

This is a deliberate editorial line. We would rather publish less prescriptive content than publish unsupervised prescriptive content.

Source standards

When we cite a medical or scientific claim, we cite primary or near-primary sources. Acceptable sources, in rough order of preference:

• Peer-reviewed papers on PubMed, Nature, BMJ, JAMA, Spine, Journal of Physical Therapy Science, and similar.
• Government health agencies: NIH, NHS, CDC, AAOS, AAP, WHO.
• Reputable medical institutions: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, MedlinePlus.
• Professional association statements (APTA, ACA, etc.).

We avoid: secondary health blogs, supplement-vendor sites, and any source that mixes editorial content with affiliate links. Every external citation is linked inline so the reader can verify our framing.

Update cadence and date stamps

Every article displays a "Published" date and, when revised, a "Last reviewed" date. Our policy:

• Articles touching health concepts are reviewed at least every 12 months, or sooner if material new research becomes available.
• Articles describing the PosturaScreen product or measurement methodology are updated whenever the product changes meaningfully (new metrics, updated thresholds, new features).
• Corrections are dated and noted in a changelog block at the foot of the article.

Conflict of interest

PosturaScreen is a commercial product. Articles that mention competitor or alternative tools will state that fact in a single-line disclosure near the top of the article. We do not pay for placements, do not run affiliate programs in articles, and do not accept payment for editorial coverage. If that ever changes, this page will be updated first.

Corrections policy

We make mistakes. If you find one:

1. Email support@posturascreen.com with the article URL and the specific claim you believe is wrong, including a source if you have one.
2. We will reply within 72 hours with a position: either we agree and will correct, we disagree and will explain why, or we need more time to investigate.
3. When we correct, the article gets a dated correction note at the bottom and the "Last reviewed" date is bumped.

For complaints about the medical accuracy of a reviewed article, we route the question back to the reviewing physiotherapist or chiropractor for a second opinion before responding.

Disclaimer (re-stated)
