How we verify longevity clinics in Spain
At LongevityMap, every clinic receives a quality score from 0 to 100 based on objective, verifiable data. No sponsorships, no subjective opinions, no conflicts of interest. Here we explain exactly how we do it.
Our principles
Objectivity
We score with declared and verified data, never with opinions or subjective assessments.
Independence
No clinic pays for its position. The score is calculated with the same algorithm for all.
Scientific basis
Each evaluation criterion is supported by published scientific literature (PubMed, Cochrane).
The 4 evaluation dimensions
Each clinic and treatment is evaluated across 4 independent dimensions. The final score is the weighted average.
Quality score composition
Each dimension scores from 0 to 25. The total score ranges from 0 to 100.
1. Equipment
25% of scoreWe evaluate the technology each clinic uses: brand, model, year of manufacture, certifications and technical specifications. Modern, well-maintained equipment is the foundation of a safe and effective treatment.
Criteria we evaluate:
- Brand and model of main equipment
- Year of manufacture and maintenance
- CE, FDA or equivalent certifications
- Technical specifications (power, temperature, frequency)
- Documented calibration and periodic reviews
Practical example:
A Juka CryoAir 2024 cryogenic chamber with CE certification and quarterly maintenance scores significantly higher than an uncertified generic chamber from 2018.
2. Practitioner
25% of scoreWe analyze the qualifications of the professional administering the treatment: degree, years of experience, specific certifications and continuing education. The difference between a good and an excellent result is often in the hands that perform it.
Criteria we evaluate:
- Official degree and license number
- Years of experience in the specific treatment
- Specialized certifications (manufacturer, association)
- Demonstrable continuing education
- Professional-to-patient ratio per session
Practical example:
A licensed physician with 8 years of experience in ozone therapy and certification from the Spanish Ozone Therapy Society scores higher than a technician without formal medical training.
3. Protocol
25% of scoreWe evaluate whether the clinical protocol is based on published scientific evidence, includes prior patient assessment, is personalized (not generic) and includes post-treatment follow-up.
Criteria we evaluate:
- Based on studies published in PubMed/Cochrane
- Prior patient assessment (medical history, contraindications)
- Personalization based on patient profile and goals
- Documented informed consent
- Post-treatment follow-up protocol
Practical example:
A NAD+ IV clinic that performs prior blood work, adjusts the dose to weight and goals, and schedules 4-week follow-up scores higher than one that applies standard 500 mg to everyone.
4. Results
25% of scoreWe measure reported results quantitatively: biomarker improvement, documented patient satisfaction, repeat rate and objective clinical data when available.
Criteria we evaluate:
- Quantitative improvement data (biomarkers, measurements)
- Patient satisfaction (standardized surveys)
- Patient repeat rate
- Documented before/after objective cases
- Reported adverse effects and incidence rate
Practical example:
A PRP clinic that documents a 60% improvement on VAS pain scale in 100 patients with 6-month follow-up provides stronger evidence than anonymous testimonials.
The step-by-step process
Clinic registration
The clinic registers on LongevityMap and declares its treatments, equipment, professionals and protocols.
Data verification
Our system cross-references declared data with official sources (medical boards, CE certifications, health registries).
Algorithmic scoring
The algorithm calculates the score across 4 dimensions automatically and impartially. Same criteria for all.
Publication and monitoring
The profile is published with its score. If data changes, the score is recalculated automatically.
How to interpret the score
| Score | Category |
|---|---|
| 80–100 | Excellent |
| 60–79 | Good |
| 40–59 | Acceptable |
| 0–39 | Low |
How we detect overpricing
For each treatment and city, we calculate the market median price from real data of registered clinics. When a clinic’s price significantly exceeds the median without its quality score justifying it, we label it as overpriced.
This doesn’t mean the price is "bad" — a clinic with score 95 and premium pricing may be perfectly justified. But it helps you identify when you’re paying more without getting more quality.
Fair price
Within the median for its quality level
Above market
10-30% above without a score to justify it
Overpriced
+30% above median without proportional quality
