The Openlywell Editorial Team
Openlywell guides are researched and written by the Openlywell editorial team, and every clinical statement is compiled with reference to named, publicly available guidance. We do not ask you to trust credentials — we cite the sources on every page so you can check them yourself.
Openlywell Editorial Team
The Openlywell editorial team researches, writes and maintains every guide on the site. Each page is built from published guidance by international public-health authorities and is updated when that guidance changes.
Openlywell Reference Desk
Every clinical statement is compiled with reference to named, publicly available sources — primarily the World Health Organization, the NHS and the CDC — which are cited at the end of each guide so readers can check the original guidance themselves.

Educational drafts are prepared against this reference set. Openlywell is educational information, not a medical service — see the medical disclaimer for the boundary between general education and personal care.
