iMedic Site Improvements: 2026 Update
iMedic has undergone substantial editorial and technical improvements in 2026. This page documents what changed and when, providing transparent context for our readers and search engines.
Why we are documenting this
iMedic has invested in making medical information more useful, more verifiable, and more trustworthy. This includes adding structured expert citations, building evidence-based interactive tools, strengthening editorial standards, and resolving accumulated technical issues. We document these improvements publicly so readers — and search engines crawling this site — have clear context on the current state of our content.

Improvement timeline
Site-wide editorial improvements
- Added structured expert citations referencing peer-reviewed research and named clinical guidelines across hundreds of articles

- Implemented WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility compliance — skip links, ARIA labels, semantic HTML, heading hierarchy, alt text
- Cleaned and re-submitted XML sitemaps reflecting current content
Content quality systems
- Established editorial review process with documented source-evaluation policy
- Added correction-policy and feedback channels for transparent content stewardship
- Implemented version-tracked dateModified timestamps that update only when content is substantively changed
What this means for you
- Better evidence base: Articles now reference named published research and established clinical guidelines (WHO, NICE, AHA, EAACI, BNF) rather than relying on generic editorial summaries.
- Interactive tools: Risk calculators, dosing tools, drug interaction reference, and pregnancy/travel safety lookups are available alongside reading content.
- Transparent dating: Every article shows when it was last reviewed and updated. Updates happen when substantive content changes occur, not on a fixed schedule.
- Accessible to everyone: Site is WCAG 2.2 AAA compliant — works with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and high-contrast modes.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a new website?
No — iMedic is the same domain (imedic.health) with substantially improved content, technical infrastructure, and editorial processes. The improvements have been ongoing through 2026 and continue.
Why was this page created?
To provide transparent documentation of what has improved and when. This serves readers who want to understand the context of our content, and search engines evaluating the current state of the domain.
Are older articles still accurate?
We continuously review and update articles. Each article shows its last-reviewed date. Articles that have not been recently reviewed should still be accurate but may not reflect the most recent guideline updates — we are working through systematic re-review.
Who reviews the content?
Our editorial team curates and reviews medical content following our documented editorial standards. References to specific researchers and organizations cite their publicly available published work — we do not claim authorship or review by anyone who has not personally signed off on a piece.
How can I support the site?
Reading and sharing useful articles helps. If you are a clinician interested in editorial collaboration, please contact us — we welcome named medical reviewers.
