Clinical contribution
The role matters. So does the scope.
Meet Get Regular’s clinical advisor, Dr. Michael Schopis. Read his original statement about the app’s internal analysis and outputs, with the scope of that statement made clear.
Get Regular was developed with gastroenterology expertise. Dr. Michael Schopis is identified by the company as its clinical advisor; his original statement explains the contribution in his own words.
Meet Dr. Michael Schopis
Dr. Michael Schopis is a board-certified gastroenterologist at Manhattan Gastroenterology. His professional profile lists board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine and an affiliation with New York-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Get Regular identifies him as Clinical Advisor. His professional affiliations describe his clinical work; they do not mean those institutions endorse Get Regular or its individual outputs.
His original statement on the app
In the statement published by Get Regular, Dr. Schopis describes scrutiny of the app’s internal analysis and outputs:
The app's internal analysis and outputs underwent extensive scrutiny and tweaking to ensure it correctly follows all current major gastroenterology guidelines as it relates to gut health — reliably demonstrating that the app provides users with a convenient, evidence-based interpretation of their personal digestive wellbeing.
This is the company-published advisor statement. It describes his contribution; it is not a published validation study, an accuracy percentage or a record of individual review of every later AI response or website article.
Three kinds of evidence, three different questions
Advisory input may inform a product's design or terminology. Editorial review examines a particular piece of content. A validation study tests a defined claim using a documented method. One does not stand in for the others.
The Bristol scale offers a useful example. Research on stool-form recording concerns that scale and its studied use. It cannot, by itself, validate Get Regular's image classification, generated recommendations or proprietary scores.
| Role or evidence | What should be disclosed |
|---|---|
| Clinical advisor | The actual role, topics advised on, dates, relevant version and material relationship. |
| Article reviewer | The specific page reviewed, relevant qualifications and review date. |
| Product validation | The tested claim, app version, study methods, results and limitations. |
Read each claim at its actual scope
The advisor statement does not specify an app version, a dated protocol or a separate review of each scoring formula. It should not be read as an independent test of every current feature or as a promise that a recommendation will improve an individual person’s symptoms.
A product validation claim needs a study of the product, with a defined outcome and methods. A scientific reference about stool form, nutrition or a different AI system answers a different question. The evidence library keeps those source records separate from claims about Get Regular.
A review credit should be traceable
A named medical-review credit applies to the specific text actually reviewed. Source references, AI assistance and general clinical advice are different from that credit. We do not assign Dr. Schopis an article byline or imply that he has personally checked a page without evidence of that review.
Get Regular remains a tracking and educational product. For advice about your own symptoms, diagnosis or treatment, speak with a qualified healthcare professional who can consider your history and examination.
