Evidence
We prioritise NICE, BNF, NHS.uk, and other named official or peer-reviewed sources. Articles also cite specialist charities and observational research where that is the best public figure — and we label the source class. There are no public TEG videos yet; this standard will apply when they exist. Where guidance changes, we review and update the content.
The website is general health education — not personal medical advice. If something on TEG raises a question about your own health, the right next step is always your own GP.

The doctor who codes
Alongside clinical practice, Dr Umege builds and contributes to the open-source developer tools behind modern AI systems. Recent work has been merged into Nous Research’s Hermes agent, and his own tooling is released publicly for anyone to use and audit.

Made the compression retry cap configurable
Turned a hard-coded compression retry limit into a config-driven setting enforced across every compression site in the agent runtime.

Fixed the gateway health check to report the running version
Made the /health endpoint report the actually-running source version instead of stale packaged metadata, so operators can trust what a live gateway reports.
