Check Health Claims in Videos with AI

Paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link with health claims into BSmeter and its AI checks it claim by claim. Each claim gets a 0-100 credibility score with its reasoning, and for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), BSmeter searches the web for supporting or contradicting evidence and links what it finds. Free with an account, with Chrome and Firefox extensions that show results on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Results are AI-generated, can be wrong, and are not medical advice.

What you get

Medical Claim Verification: BSmeter extracts the health claims from videos and podcasts — from treatment efficacy to nutritional advice — and scores each one. For the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), it searches the web for evidence and links what it finds, which may include public-health agencies, journals, or news coverage, depending on what the search turns up.
COVID & Vaccine Claims: BSmeter applies the same claim-by-claim analysis to COVID-19 and vaccine content: scoring each claim, naming framing moves like Cherry-Picked or Anonymous Authority, and searching for sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). For the latest official guidance, check public-health agencies such as the CDC or WHO directly.
0-100 Credibility Scoring: Each health claim gets a 0-100 credibility score with the AI's reasoning, and the video gets an overall score so you can see at a glance how well its health claims hold up.
Treatment & Supplement Fact-Checking: BSmeter scores claims about medications, supplements, alternative treatments, and medical procedures — dosage claims, success rates, purported benefits — and searches for sources on the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium).
Nutrition & Diet Misinformation Analysis: Fact-check claims about diets, superfoods, detox programs, weight loss products, and nutritional advice. BSmeter scores each claim and searches for sources on the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), helping separate evidence-based advice from fads.
Sponsorships & Unnamed Experts: Health videos often mix advice with product pitches. BSmeter flags claims that lean on unnamed experts (Anonymous Authority) or sound more certain than the evidence allows (Confidence Mismatch), and its reasoning can point out when a segment is really an ad. It doesn't research a creator's credentials or funding, so check those yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How does BSmeter fact-check health and medical claims?: BSmeter transcribes the video or podcast and extracts the health-related claims — about treatments, vaccines, nutrition, diseases, or medical studies. Each claim gets a 0-100 credibility score with its reasoning, and for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), BSmeter searches the web for supporting or contradicting evidence and links what it finds. Results are AI-generated, can be wrong, and aren't medical advice.
Can BSmeter verify COVID-19 and vaccine-related claims?: Yes, the same way it checks any claim: it scores each COVID-19 or vaccine claim in a video, names framing moves, and searches for sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), which can help with common myths like microchip or 5G claims. It isn't a specialized medical tool, so check official guidance from public-health agencies such as the CDC or WHO, and talk to a clinician about decisions that affect your health.
Does BSmeter work with nutrition and diet claims?: Yes. BSmeter scores nutrition, diet, and supplement claims in videos and podcasts — superfoods, detox programs, weight loss products, intermittent fasting, keto diets, and celebrity-endorsed nutrition plans — and searches for sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). For personal advice, check official dietary guidelines or a registered dietitian.
Is there a free version for health fact-checking?: Yes — BSmeter is free with an account: 3 analyses a day on videos up to 30 minutes, with a 0-100 credibility score and reasoning for each claim. The Chrome and Firefox extensions show results right on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Basic ($3.99/mo) gives 15 analyses a day on videos up to 60 minutes, and Premium ($8.99/mo) covers videos up to 2 hours; both add Find Evidence on any claim and an automatic source search on up to the 3 weakest claims of each analysis that score under 50 (Free: the weakest one).
How is BSmeter different from general fact-checking websites?: General fact-checking sites like Snopes and PolitiFact have human editors research selected claims in depth. BSmeter uses AI to give you a quick claim-by-claim read of the specific health video or podcast you paste, usually within seconds to a few minutes. It covers whatever you choose to check, but it's AI-generated and can be wrong, so use it as a first pass alongside professional fact-checks and medical advice.
Can BSmeter detect misleading health advice on social media?: Yes, in videos. BSmeter analyzes health claims in YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reel videos and in podcasts; it doesn't analyze Facebook or X posts, text, or images. The Chrome and Firefox extensions show results right on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. It can flag claims typical of social media health scams — detox tea promotions, unproven supplement ads, celebrity-endorsed pseudo-treatments, and medical advice from unqualified influencers — when they don't hold up.
How accurate is BSmeter's health fact-checking?: BSmeter's accuracy depends on the available medical evidence for each claim. Well-documented topics (vaccine safety, established treatments, nutritional guidelines, infectious disease facts) have strong evidence to check against; emerging health topics with limited research are harder, and scores there are less certain. Results are AI-generated and can be wrong — and are not medical advice — so each score comes with its reasoning, and the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) comes with source links to check the AI's work.
Does BSmeter check alternative and complementary medicine claims?: Yes. BSmeter scores claims about alternative medicine, herbal remedies, acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic treatments, and traditional medicine the same way it scores any claim, and searches for sources on the weakest one (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). Its reasoning points out when a claim rests on anecdote or tradition rather than evidence. Results are AI-generated and aren't medical advice.
