where every word
comes from.

Pregnancy apps shape how families understand a delicate moment. We owe you transparency about where the information comes from, who writes it, and what we will never tell you. This page is that promise in writing.

Every week-by-week development note, fetal-size comparison, symptom explanation, and checklist in Elara is sourced from publicly-available, evidence-based references:

• +World Health Organization (WHO) — pregnancy and antenatal care guidelines
• +Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — maternal and infant health
• +National Health Service UK (NHS) — pregnancy week-by-week guides
• +American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) — practice bulletins
• +PubMed-indexed peer-reviewed studies — for specific claims

When a single article draws on multiple sources we list them at the bottom of that article in the app.

• +We do not invent medical claims. If we cannot source a claim to a reference above, we don't make it.
• +We do not diagnose. The app never says "you have X" — only "talk to your doctor if you notice Y".
• +We do not replace prenatal care. Every information card carries a disclaimer reminding you of that.
• +We do not show fetal heart-rate readings via the phone microphone — Apple discourages this and it can drive harmful anxiety. Elara measures movement, not heart-rate.
• +We do not run AI doctor chats. Generative answers about health are risky; we will not ship one.
• +We do not sell or share your health data.

Editorial content in Elara is written by the Nomly product team and reviewed against the sources above before shipping. We do not currently have a doctor on staff; until we do, we constrain ourselves to general educational summaries that mirror public health authorities, never original medical advice.

If you spot a factual error, please write to editorial@nomly.space. We'll correct it and note the change with a date.

When guidance from the WHO, CDC, NHS, or ACOG changes, we update the relevant in-app articles within 30 days. Major changes are surfaced as an inbox notification so you know what changed and why.

Elara is a paid subscription. We do not run advertisements, we do not place affiliate links inside the app, and we have no financial relationship with the makers of products you might read about (formula, prenatal vitamins, etc.).

Elara is not a substitute for emergency medical care. If you are bleeding, leaking fluid, having severe pain, persistent severe headache, vision changes, reduced fetal movement after 28 weeks, or any other concerning symptom — contact your healthcare provider or local emergency number immediately.
