Source Verification
Every answer, grounded in real sources
Saleem doesn't just generate an answer and hope it's right. Every insight is grounded in real, citable medical sources — so you can see exactly where it came from, not just trust it blindly.
What is AI grounding?
Retrieval, not just generation
Left unchecked, general-purpose AI models can "hallucinate" — stating something confidently that simply isn't true. Saleem is built differently: instead of answering purely from memorized training data, it retrieves relevant information from trusted medical sources first, then builds its answer on top of what it found. That process is called grounding, and it's the single biggest reason Saleem's answers are more reliable than a generic chatbot's.

That combination is a common pattern for migraine, though tension headaches and dehydration can look similar. Rest in a dark room and hydration often help — if it keeps happening, it's worth discussing with a doctor.
Illustrative example — always paired with a path to a licensed doctor.
Where the sources come from
Reputable, publicly accountable medicine
Trusted clinical references
Sources such as Mayo Clinic and other established clinical reference libraries, written and reviewed by medical professionals.
Peer-reviewed journals
Published, peer-reviewed research — the same evidence base doctors themselves rely on.
Public health authorities
Guidance from public health bodies such as the WHO and CDC, kept current as recommendations evolve.
Your own health records
Insights are also grounded in your own history — the profiles, allergies, and conditions you've added.
How we minimize hallucination
Guardrails at every step
Answers are retrieved, not invented
Saleem searches trusted sources first and builds its answer from what it actually finds, instead of freely generating text from memory alone.
Every insight carries its source
You can see where an answer came from, so you're never asked to just take the AI's word for it.
A licensed doctor is the final check
Grounding reduces errors, but it doesn't replace clinical judgment — every path leads back to a real doctor when it matters.
Continuously evaluated
We regularly review Saleem's answers against its cited sources to catch drift before it reaches you.
