Who publishes this site
BloodSense is published by Smart Medical Care SAS, a company registered in France and part of the Smart Medical Care group. Full company details are set out in our Aviso legal. Our content is produced by an in-house editorial team working to the standards set out on this page. The team is responsible for every article published here, and can be reached at contact@bloodsense.ai for corrections, questions, or source requests.
Where our information comes from
Every article is built from published, citable sources. We prioritise, in this order:
- Peer-reviewed medical literature — journal articles identified by DOI, indexed in PubMed.
- Public health institutions — MedlinePlus (US National Library of Medicine), national health agencies, and clinical practice guidelines.
- Established clinical references — teaching-hospital health libraries such as the Cleveland Clinic.
Across the site today, that amounts to more than
— an average of four to five sources per article. Every source is listed at the foot of the article it supports, with a working link, so that any reader can check a claim for themselves.
We do not cite commercial laboratories, supplement retailers, or content written to sell a product.
How an article is written
Each article follows the same structure, because people arriving at a lab result need the same things in the same order:
- What the marker measures, in plain language.
- How it appears on a report, including the units and abbreviations laboratories actually use.
- Qué puede significar un resultado elevado, and what a low one can mean — with the ordinary explanations before the rare ones.
- What is usually measured alongside it, because a single value rarely means much on its own.
- How to read your own result, step by step.
- Cuándo hablar con un médico — stated explicitly, not implied.
- A glossary and FAQ, then the full source list.
Reference ranges vary between laboratories. Where that matters, we say so rather than presenting one range as universal.
Editorial control
Whatever tools are used along the way, publication is an editorial decision, not an automated one.
Source selection, verification of each claim against those sources, and the decision to publish rest with the editorial team. An article that cannot be supported by a citable source is not published, and a claim that our sources do not support is removed rather than softened.
The BloodSense product — the tool that interprets a user's uploaded results — is separate from this library. It is described on its own pages, and nothing it produces is published here as editorial content.
Keeping articles current
Medicine changes. Articles carry a visible last-updated date, and we revise them when the underlying guidance moves — a changed reference range, a new guideline, a superseded recommendation. Where a topic has moved recently, articles include a short section on the latest developments, with its sources.
If you find something out of date or incorrect, tell us at contact@bloodsense.ai. Corrections are made to the article itself, not buried in a note.
Languages
BloodSense publishes in eight languages. Translations are produced from the English source articles and carry the same sources and the same reference ranges. Where a term differs between medical systems, the translation follows local usage rather than translating the English literally.
