What you get
- Medical Claim Verification: BSmeter extracts every health claim from articles, videos, and social media posts — from treatment efficacy to nutritional advice. Each claim is cross-referenced against peer-reviewed medical journals, WHO guidelines, CDC data, FDA announcements, and trusted medical databases like PubMed and Cochrane Library.
- COVID & Vaccine Misinformation Detection: Specialized analysis for COVID-19 claims and vaccine-related content. BSmeter checks against the latest CDC, WHO, and FDA guidance as well as established virology research. Flag vaccine safety myths, treatment hoaxes, and pandemic conspiracy theories with source-backed evidence.
- 0-100 Credibility Scoring: Every health claim receives a confidence score based on supporting medical evidence, expert consensus, publication recency, and scientific methodology quality. The overall content gets a composite credibility score so you know how much to trust the health information at a glance.
- Treatment & Supplement Fact-Checking: BSmeter analyzes claims about medications, supplements, alternative treatments, and medical procedures. It verifies dosage claims, side effect warnings, success rates, and purported benefits against clinical trial data, FDA approvals, and established medical guidelines.
- Nutrition & Diet Misinformation Analysis: Fact-check claims about diets, superfoods, detox programs, weight loss products, and nutritional advice. BSmeter cross-references against dietary guidelines, nutritional science research, and registered dietitian consensus to separate evidence-based advice from fads.
- Source Credibility & Conflict of Interest Check: BSmeter analyzes the source of health information — checking author credentials, publication history, funding sources, and potential conflicts of interest. It flags content from known pseudoscience promoters and identifies when health advice is actually a disguised product advertisement.

- Can BSmeter verify COVID-19 and vaccine-related claims?
- Yes. BSmeter has specialized analysis capabilities for COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation.

It can identify common COVID-19 myths including vaccine microchip claims, 5G conspiracy theories, IVermectin misinformation, and false death toll narratives with source-backed evidence.
- Does BSmeter work with nutrition and diet claims?
- Absolutely. BSmeter analyzes nutrition, diet, and supplement claims against established dietary guidelines from organizations like the USDA, FDA, and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It can fact-check claims about superfoods, detox programs, weight loss products, intermittent fasting, keto diets, and celebrity-endorsed nutrition plans against current nutritional science.
- Is there a free version for health fact-checking?
- Yes — BSmeter is completely free for basic health fact-checking. Paste any health-related link or claim on bsmeter.ai and get instant analysis with credibility scores and source links. The Chrome extension adds one-click fact-checking directly on any webpage. Premium plans ($8.99/mo) add unlimited analyses, priority processing, and detailed medical source reports.
- How is BSmeter different from general fact-checking websites?
- General fact-checking sites like Snopes and PolitiFact rely on human editors who can only cover a tiny fraction of the health misinformation published daily. BSmeter uses AI to analyze any health claim instantly, checking it against thousands of medical databases simultaneously. While human fact-checkers are thorough, they're slow — BSmeter processes claims in seconds and covers content that manual fact-checking never reaches.
- Can BSmeter detect misleading health advice on social media?
- Yes. BSmeter can analyze health claims from social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and YouTube. The Chrome extension lets you right-click any health post and fact-check it immediately. BSmeter identifies common social media health scams including detox tea promotions, unproven supplement ads, celebrity-endorsed pseudo-treatments, and medical advice from unqualified influencers.
- How accurate is BSmeter's health fact-checking?
- BSmeter's accuracy depends on the available medical evidence for each claim. For well-documented topics (vaccine safety, established treatments, nutritional guidelines, infectious disease facts), accuracy is very high. For emerging health topics with limited research, BSmeter flags the claim with an appropriate uncertainty rating. Every score includes confidence indicators and direct source links so you can verify the AI's work.
- Does BSmeter check alternative and complementary medicine claims?
- Yes. BSmeter analyzes claims about alternative medicine, herbal remedies, acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic treatments, and traditional medicine. It checks these against available clinical trial evidence, systematic reviews from the Cochrane Library, and position statements from major medical organizations. It clearly distinguishes between treatments supported by robust evidence and those relying on anecdotal reports or tradition.
