Working principles

Our Scientific Board's non-negotiable principles.

Scientific accuracy

Every formula rests on peer-reviewed published literature. Khamis-Roche (1994), Bayley-Pinneau (1952), Neyzi (2008), Tanner (1986).

Screening, not diagnosis

All AI + risk scores are not for clinical diagnosis. They point to pediatrician + endocrinologist + dietitian consultation.

KVKK + ethics

Children's data is sensitive — explicit parental consent is required. Right to deletion + portability preserved. Hetzner Germany, KVKK-compliant.

Transparency

Every prediction is presented with confidence interval. Error margin + limitations clearly stated. AI is not a "black box" — explainable design.

Body-image safe

No diet/weight-loss language for children. Child Growth platform and Coach Academy apply body-image safe communication standard.

Independence

Scientific Board decisions are independent of commercial + marketing pressure. Clinical advice always puts science first.
