How MHI works
Last updated 31 July 2026
Clearer information for better health decisions
The Modern Health Index helps you discover providers, compare your options and understand what to consider before booking.
Discover
Start with what you need — a clinic type, a service, a location, or a health question — then browse published profiles on MHI.
On provider pages you can typically:
- Read a clear summary of what the provider offers
- See location and public contact details where available
- Understand provider type, editorial status and regulatory information when MHI has been able to source it
- Follow links to related treatments, conditions, guides and comparisons
Inclusion on MHI means a provider has been selected and prepared for publication through editorial workflow. It is not a clinical endorsement, award, or recommendation that you should use that provider.
Compare
Health decisions rarely have a single “best” answer. MHI comparisons present meaningful dimensions side by side so you can weigh trade-offs yourself.
Comparisons may help you review:
- Service scope and what is typically included
- Provider approach and practical access
- Published pricing indications, where available
- Location and delivery format
- Important limitations and unanswered questions
MHI does not prescribe which provider, treatment or product you should choose. We do not manufacture winners or sell ranking positions.
Decide
Clearer decisions come from useful questions — not longer test lists. MHI guides and profile pages help you:
- Identify what to ask before booking
- Understand what is included versus charged separately
- Compare follow-up arrangements and who reviews results
- Recognise uncertainty, limitations and incidental findings
- Know when it is sensible to seek qualified clinical advice

How MHI reviews information
Different signals on MHI mean different things. Keeping them distinct protects trust.
- Provider-published information — details a clinic or brand states about itself. Useful, but still needs careful reading.
- Editorial review — MHI has completed a deeper editorial pass on selected profiles. This is a quality signal for the page, not proof of clinical excellence or suitability for you.
- Claimed profiles — a provider can request to claim and help keep directory details current. Claiming a profile is not endorsement and is not verification.
- Factual verification — MHI checks key public facts against sources where practical. We aim to correct material inaccuracies when they are reported.
- Regulatory information — where available, we surface public registry context. Missing or pending status must not be read as a statement that a provider is unregistered.
- Commercial Founding Partnerships — commercial participation does not purchase verification, editorial conclusions, or organic rankings.
Sources and review dates are shown on entity pages where supported. For process depth, see Our methodology and Editorial policy.

Start exploring your options
Use MHI to orient yourself, then confirm material information directly with the provider and, where appropriate, a qualified clinician. Details can change between reviews.
