How we prepare our guides

Our guides help you measure carefully, keep an understandable record and prepare useful questions for your healthcare team. They explain a specific task rather than offer an individual diagnosis or treatment plan.

Sources you can open

We use relevant recommendations from public-health bodies and professional associations, device instructions and published research. Links appear beside key statements and in the Sources list. A research result is described with its limits; a result for a group is not presented as a guaranteed effect for you.

Editorial publication and medical review

Our guides are published by TonoBuddy as general educational information. Publication does not mean that an independent clinician has reviewed a guide. A reviewer’s name and review date appear only when a documented clinical review has actually happened. Use these guides to prepare questions for your healthcare team, not to diagnose a condition or change treatment.

Guidance across countries

English-language articles are written for readers in different countries. When recommendations differ, we identify the relevant source, measurement setting and population. We do not combine diagnostic thresholds and treatment goals into one universal target. For urgent help, contact the appropriate medical services where you are.

What a diary can and cannot do

TonoBuddy helps keep observations organized. It does not measure blood pressure through the phone, diagnose the cause of a change, determine whether symptoms are safe or prescribe treatment. An app should never delay getting medical help.

How the content is produced

Draft preparation can use AI-assisted writing. Sources, medical statements, product descriptions and metadata still need human verification. A link to WHO or a professional association does not mean that organization has approved our article.

Updates and corrections

Changes to medical wording require a new review of the relevant content. Published articles show their actual update and review dates. When a material is withdrawn, its page is removed from the learning catalogue.
