Corrections & Updates Log
Wearable Wellness Guide
Correction Policy Summary
Commitment to Accuracy and Transparency
Wearable Wellness Guide operates under a physician-led editorial model where all health claims, device evaluations, and safety recommendations undergo medical review before publication. Despite rigorous review processes, errors can occur due to evolving research, device firmware updates, or inadvertent oversights. When errors are identified, we act immediately to correct them and communicate changes transparently.
Our correction policy applies to all published content, including device reviews, methodology documentation, medical guidance, and educational articles. Corrections are never deleted from the historical record.
Correction vs. Update Definitions
We distinguish between corrections and updates:
Corrections address factual errors, inaccuracies, or misleading statements in published content. These include incorrect data, misattributed sources, measurement errors, or claims not supported by evidence. Corrections are implemented when the original content contained verifiable inaccuracies at the time of publication.
Updates reflect changes in circumstances after initial publication, such as new research findings, device firmware modifications, FDA clearances, safety alerts, or changes in clinical guidelines. Updates do not indicate the original content was incorrect; rather, they reflect evolving information that warrants content revision to maintain current accuracy.
Notification Procedures
When corrections or significant updates are made, readers are notified through multiple channels:
On-page disclosure: A correction notice is added at the top of the affected article, immediately visible to all readers. This notice includes the date of correction, a brief description of what changed, and the reason for the change.
Corrections log entry: All corrections are logged on this page with full transparency, including the nature of the error and the corrective action taken.
Medical reviewer sign-off: All major corrections require review and approval by Dr. Rishav Das, M.B.B.S., to ensure medical accuracy is restored.
Social media notification: For corrections with potential health implications, announcements are made via our official social media channels.
Revision Tracking
Each article on Wearable Wellness Guide includes a footer timestamp indicating the date of last medical review and the date of last content update. Substantive revisions are documented in the article footer with a brief description of what changed. This allows readers to assess content currency and identify when significant modifications have occurred.
Correction Categories
We categorize corrections by severity to ensure appropriate response procedures are followed. Each category has specific criteria and correction protocols.
Minor Corrections
Definition: Minor corrections address errors that do not affect the medical accuracy, safety guidance, or core recommendations of the content. These corrections improve clarity and user experience but do not alter substantive health information.
Examples:
Typographical errors in non-medical text
Formatting inconsistencies that do not obscure meaning
Broken internal or external links
Minor grammatical adjustments for readability
Image caption corrections that do not affect medical content
Correction Process: Minor corrections are implemented immediately upon identification. A brief update note is added to the article footer indicating the correction date and general nature of the change. Minor corrections are not typically logged on this public corrections page unless they affect multiple articles or accumulate to warrant transparency.
Major Corrections
Definition: Major corrections address factual errors that affect medical accuracy, device recommendations, safety guidance, or health claims. These corrections are material to reader decision-making and require immediate action.
Examples:
Incorrect accuracy measurements or error rates for devices
Inaccurate data or statistics affecting recommendations
Misattributed research sources or citation errors
Misleading claims about device capabilities or limitations
Errors in safety warnings or contraindication guidance
Incorrect FDA clearance status or regulatory classification
Factual errors in medical explanations or health metrics
Correction Process:
1. Immediate correction: Content is corrected within 24 hours of verification.
2. Prominent notice: A correction notice is added at the top of the article, clearly stating what was incorrect and what has been corrected.
3. Medical reviewer sign-off: Dr. Rishav Das, M.B.B.S., reviews the correction to ensure accuracy is restored and no additional errors exist.
4. Public log entry: The correction is logged on this page with full transparency.
5. Reader notification: If the error has potential health implications, readers are notified via social media channels.
Retractions
Definition: Retractions are reserved for content containing fundamental errors that cannot be corrected or where the integrity of the underlying methodology is compromised. Retractions are rare and represent the most serious category of correction.
Circumstances requiring retraction:
Fundamental methodological flaws invalidating test results
Unverifiable claims that cannot be substantiated
Safety concerns requiring content removal for reader protection
Irreparable accuracy issues affecting core conclusions
Ethical violations in testing procedures
Conflict of interest discovered after publication
Retraction Process:
1. Immediate action: The article is marked as RETRACTED at the top of the page in clear, bold text.
2. Explanation provided: A detailed retraction notice explains why the content is being retracted, what specific issues were identified, and when the retraction occurred.
3. Content preservation: The original content is preserved for transparency and archived. Readers can access the retracted content to understand what was originally published, but the retraction notice remains prominently displayed.
4. Retraction archive: Retracted articles are listed in the Retraction Archive section below with links to full retraction explanations.
5. Notification: Readers are notified via all available channels, including email newsletters and social media, with an explanation of the retraction.
6. Replacement content: If appropriate, replacement content addressing the same topic with correct methodology is published and linked from the retraction notice.
