How to use it

- Adjust the settings beside it until the result is what you wanted.
- Copy the result, or save it as a file. The result updates as you type.
Questions
- Is this medical advice?
- No. It is arithmetic on the numbers you supplied, with the formula named, and it says so on every result. Nothing here diagnoses or prescribes.
- Where do the numbers in the formula come from?
- From published equations, each named on the result, and from whatever you typed. Nothing is looked up: there is no drug database, no national schedule and no reference range invented to fill a gap. Where a tool has no answer it says so with the reason.
- Is what I type uploaded anywhere?
- No. This page carries the whole tool as WebAssembly and runs it on your own device. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, which for a health calculator is the point rather than a feature.
- Is there a version that is not a web page?
- Yes. The same tools are built as a desktop application from the same code, with a save dialog instead of a download and no network code at all.
