About
Michael J Whitley is the editor of PatientGuide.io. He oversees the site's editorial direction and works to ensure that every guide is clear, evidence-based, and useful for patients navigating real health decisions.
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:
