About

Michael J Whitley is the editor and Context Engineer behind PatientGuide.io, shaping the site's health information architecture, guide taxonomy, AI-assisted editorial workflows, and patient-facing content systems. His work focuses on helping people find clear, reliable, and context-aware health guidance across symptoms, conditions, treatments, prevention, and care pathways.

Focus areas

• AI in healthcare — how language models and decision-support tools are changing medicine, and what patients should understand about them
• Evidence literacy — helping readers interpret clinical research, distinguish strong evidence from weak, and understand uncertainty
• Preventive health — screening, vaccination, lifestyle interventions, and the evidence behind them

Editorial approach

PatientGuide.io is built on the principle that patients deserve straightforward, honest health information — without hype, without alarmism, and without pretending certainty where none exists. You can read more about how the site operates:
