About these pages
How these pages are written and checked.
Last checked: 23 September 2026
taluvu publishes a page for each condition people track with it, plus a few practical guides. Health pages are easy to write badly, so this page explains exactly how ours are made and what they are not.
Who writes them
They are written by the people who build taluvu. That includes people living with chronic, invisible and fluctuating conditions, which is why the app exists at all.
Nobody here is a doctor, and we do not pretend otherwise. You will not find a clinician's name on these pages, because no clinician has reviewed them.
Where the facts come from
Anything factual about a condition comes from sources you can check yourself, and those sources are linked at the bottom of every condition page. We use the NHS, NICE, recognised UK charities for that condition, and published research.
If a claim cannot be traced to one of those, it does not go on the page. Where something is uncertain or contested, we would rather say so than round it off into a tidy sentence.
When they were last checked
Every condition page carries the date its linked sources were last checked, and that date is updated when we check them again. The current pages were checked on 23 September 2026.
Checking means the linked sources still exist, still say what the page says they say, and still point at the current page on that organisation's site.
What these pages do not do
- They do not diagnose anything, and they never suggest what your symptoms might mean
- They are not medical advice, and they are not a substitute for a doctor, a therapist or a crisis service
- They are not medically reviewed, and taluvu is not a medical device
- They do not tell you what to take, what to stop, or what to eat
- They do not promise that anything will get better
What they do is help you record your own experience and describe it to someone who can help. That is the whole job.
How the app writes, too
Asha, the companion inside taluvu, follows the same limits. Asha reflects back what you have written and helps you get ready for appointments. Asha does not diagnose, treat or replace a doctor, therapist or crisis service, and never suggests what a symptom might mean.
Anything taluvu shows you about your own records is counted from what you chose to record. It never claims that one thing caused another, and it says when a pattern may be coincidence.
Tell us if we have got something wrong
If you spot a mistake, a broken source link, or wording that reads as a medical claim, write to hello@taluvu.co.uk and say which page. Corrections are the fastest thing we do.
If you want the detail on the medical and AI limits, it is set out in full in our Medical and AI Disclaimer.
