This is the personal website of Dr. Praveen Kumar M. Its articles, research summaries, illustrations, code and interactive tools support general education and discussion. They do not provide advice tailored to an individual patient, research project or professional decision.
Medical information and personal decisions
Reading this website, using a learning tool or contacting me through the site does not establish a clinician–patient relationship. The content does not replace a qualified healthcare professional’s assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Do not start, stop or change treatment, disregard professional advice or delay seeking care because of something on this site.
Exercise and wellbeing examples also require judgment about personal suitability. For an urgent medical concern, contact local emergency services; this website is not an emergency care service.
Research, commentary and demonstrations
Unless explicitly identified otherwise, blog explanations, hypotheses and demonstrations are educational commentary. They are not reports of new clinical research or peer-reviewed findings. A teaching example does not establish that a treatment is safe or effective, or that a method is suitable for a particular study.
The site also links to genuine research and other published work. Those sources retain their own publication status, findings and limitations. Read the original source to assess its methods, evidence, disclosures, corrections and applicability; a summary cannot convey every qualification.
Examples labelled fictional, synthetic or simulated are teaching material, not observations from real patients. Educational calculators, models and code illustrate concepts under stated assumptions; they are not offered as validated tools for patient care or as a substitute for study-specific statistical review, research governance or regulatory advice.
Accuracy and independent verification
I aim to make the material useful and accurate, but errors, omissions and outdated information may occur. Content and tools are supplied “as is” and as available, with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, reliability, currency or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law. No particular result or outcome is promised.
Before applying information in clinical care, research or other professional work, independently check the original evidence, calculations, assumptions and current guidance. Obtain appropriate professional advice and any required institutional or regulatory approvals.
Responsibility and liability
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to use this material; any reliance is at your own discretion and risk. To the extent permitted by applicable law, I disclaim liability for loss or damage arising from access to, use of or reliance on this website, its content or its tools, including errors or omissions.
This disclaimer does not exclude or restrict any liability or legal right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted. It does not turn educational material into clinical advice or replace the responsibilities that apply to professional practice.
Independence and external sources
I write in a personal capacity. My views do not necessarily represent my current or former employers or affiliated organizations. Professional roles identify my background; they do not imply organizational endorsement, sponsorship or approval. The site’s declaration of independence also applies.
Citations, links and mentions do not by themselves endorse a product, service or organization. External sites control their own content and policies; I cannot guarantee their accuracy or availability.
Corrections
