Niahealth Approach to Evidence

NiaHealth prioritizes evidence-based medicine by evaluating the safety and efficacy of tests and interventions before making recommendations. Their approach follows a hierarchy of evidence, relying on systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials when available, but also using high-quality observational studies where long-term clinical trials are impractical. Recognizing gaps in research, particularly in longevity and preventive care, NiaHealth remains transparent about limitations, ensuring that clinicians provide informed, individualized care based on the best available evidence.
