How to Identify Credible Health Information Online With so much health information available online, distinguishing?reliable sources from misinformation?is more important than ever. From?misleading headlines?to?AI-generated content, misinformation can spread quickly—impacting both individual health decisions and public trust in healthcare. A few key questions to ask when evaluating a source: Who wrote it??Look for credentials and expertise. Where was it published??Government agencies, universities, and peer-reviewed journals are more reliable than opinion-based sources. Are sources cited??Trustworthy content references credible studies, not just anecdotes. Is it up to date??Medical research evolves—older information may no longer be accurate. Guava?prioritizes?evidence-based health information?to empower individuals and support informed decision-making. Whether you're a?healthcare provider, digital health company, or wellness brand, ensuring access to accurate resources is essential for improving patient outcomes. What is a common health misconception you’ve encountered online? Read more:?https://lnkd.in/ghV-ZaE5 #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #PatientEducation #HealthLiteracy #Misinformation

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! Despite affecting?1 in 10 women, endometriosis is still widely misunderstood. With minimal diagnostic resources, many patients wait years for a diagnosis without an explanation for their symptoms.?Better awareness—among patients, providers, and health and wellness leaders—is key to improving care. Some of the most common?misconceptions?include: “Endometriosis is just a bad period.”?– It’s a chronic condition that can affect?multiple organs, not just the uterus. “Birth control is a cure-all.”?– Progestins and low-dose oral contraceptives are ineffective in about?a third of those with endometriosis. “Intense period pain is normal.”?– While period symptoms affect everyone differently, severe or constant pain shouldn’t be ignored. Guava?aims to make health information?clear, accessible, and evidence-based?so patients can better advocate for themselves and in turn, providers can offer the best possible care. How can healthcare professionals and businesses play a bigger role in closing the endometriosis knowledge gap? Read more:?https://lnkd.in/gzYkyV-N

???Why Self-Advocacy in Healthcare Matters For many patients, navigating the healthcare system isn’t just about treatment—it’s about being heard. This story highlights how one patient’s journey led them to become their own advocate, ultimately improving their care and health outcomes. Empowered patients lead to better healthcare interactions and better outcomes. But self-advocacy isn’t just a patient’s responsibility—it’s also an opportunity for providers and health tech innovators to create systems that support clearer communication, better data access, and more personalized care. How can technology bridge the gap??With tools like?Guava’s symptom tracking, insights, and Visit Prep, patients can track their experience and bring data-driven conversations to their providers—making advocacy more effective for both sides. Healthcare professionals: How can we collectively make self-advocacy easier for patients? Let’s discuss in the comments.
