Our Review Workflow
How AI Supports Our Mission
We use AI as a tool to help us create comprehensive hearing health content more efficiently. Here's how it works:
Content Generation: AI helps us draft articles by synthesizing information from trusted medical databases, peer-reviewed research, and clinical guidelines. This allows us to cover more topics and keep our content current.
Human Expertise: Every article is reviewed by our team of audiologists and hearing specialists at UCSF. They verify accuracy, add clinical insights, and ensure the information is practical and relevant to your needs.
Continuous Updates: We regularly review and update our content as new research emerges and best practices evolve.
💡 Our Commitment: While AI helps us work faster, human expertise ensures you receive accurate, trustworthy information. We never publish AI-generated content without thorough review by qualified hearing health professionals.
