Editorial Process and Standards

Editorial Process and Standards

At UV Tactus, we believe that people making decisions about their health deserve information that is accurate, understandable, balanced, and supported by scientific evidence.
Our editorial process is designed to ensure that the information published on uvtactus.eu meets high standards of medical accuracy, transparency, relevance, and responsibility.

Our Editorial Principles

Every article, guide, FAQ, and educational resource published on our website is created according to the following principles:

• Accuracy: Medical information is based on current scientific evidence, recognised clinical guidelines, and reliable professional sources.
• Clarity: We explain complex medical topics in accessible language without compromising medical accuracy.
• Balance: We describe the potential benefits, limitations, risks, and practical considerations of treatments without exaggerating expected outcomes.
• Transparency: We aim to make it clear where our information comes from, when it was reviewed, and when it was last updated.
• Patient focus: Our content is written to help readers better understand their condition, available treatment approaches, and the questions they may wish to discuss with a healthcare professional.
• Responsibility: We do not knowingly publish unsupported, misleading, or exaggerated medical claims.

Evidence-Based Content

Our medical and educational content is developed using reliable sources, including:

• Peer-reviewed scientific publications.
• Randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews.
• Recognised national and international clinical guidelines.
• Recommendations from established dermatology and healthcare organisations.
• Relevant medical-device and regulatory guidance.

Where appropriate, we include references to original research and recognised guidelines so readers can review the supporting evidence.
We prioritise current, clinically relevant evidence. However, when established older research remains important to understanding a treatment or medical condition, it may also be included.

Medical Review

Medical content published on this website is reviewed by Dr Inga Kisieliene, dermatologist, to help ensure that it reflects current clinical knowledge, recognised medical practice, and the available scientific evidence.
The medical review process considers whether:

• Medical statements are accurate and properly supported.
• Benefits and limitations are presented fairly.
• Treatment information is explained responsibly.
• The content avoids misleading or overly broad claims.
• Readers are clearly advised when professional medical guidance is appropriate.

Our Editorial Process

Our editorial process generally includes the following stages:

1. We identify topics that are relevant to patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
2. We review current scientific literature, clinical guidelines, and other reliable medical sources.
3. The UV Tactus editorial team prepares the content in clear and accessible language.
4. Medical information is reviewed by Dr Inga Kisieliene.
5. The content receives a final editorial review for accuracy, readability, consistency, and transparency.
6. The content is published and reviewed again when relevant evidence, guidance, or product information changes.

Keeping Our Content Current

Medicine and clinical guidance continue to evolve. We therefore review our content periodically and update it when important new information becomes available.
Articles may be revised following:

• New scientific studies or clinical guidelines.
• Changes in accepted medical practice.
• Relevant regulatory developments.
• Updates to UV Tactus product information or instructions.
• Corrections, clarifications, or useful feedback from readers and healthcare professionals.

You can find the date of the most recent update at the bottom of each article. Where appropriate, we may also show the date on which the article was medically reviewed.

Corrections

We aim to publish accurate information, but we recognise that corrections may occasionally be necessary.
When we identify a factual error, unclear statement, outdated reference, or potentially misleading explanation, we review the content and make the appropriate correction as soon as reasonably possible.
Significant updates may be reflected in the article’s latest update date.

Independence and Objectivity

This website includes information about the UV Tactus phototherapy device. We are transparent about this relationship.
Our educational content nevertheless aims to provide balanced and evidence-based information about phototherapy, chronic skin conditions, and available treatment approaches. We do not present UV Tactus as suitable for every person or every condition, and we aim to explain relevant limitations and situations in which professional medical advice is needed.

Readers Remain in Control

We believe it is important that our readers remain in charge of their own experiences and healthcare decisions. We are here to support them with useful information, practical guidance, and evidence-based educational resources along the way.
Our content is intended to help readers understand their options and prepare for informed conversations with qualified healthcare professionals. It should not pressure anyone into choosing a particular treatment or replace individual medical advice.

Feedback and Reader Contributions

We welcome feedback, questions, corrections, and suggestions from our readers.
We listen to users’ experiences and requests and aim to incorporate relevant suggestions wherever possible to improve the accuracy, clarity, and usefulness of our content and the overall experience on our website.
If you notice information that may be unclear or outdated, or have a suggestion for a topic we should cover, please feel free to contact us.

Medical conditions and treatment responses vary between individuals. Decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and the use of a medical device should be made with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional who is familiar with your health, medical history, and individual circumstances.
