Show HN: JSON Input for Medical Calculators (cliniborg.com)
Doctors use calculators to evaluate your weight, predict the chance you may have a heart attack or stroke, and estimate the wear and tear on your liver.
Speeding up this process is the main goal because the time a doctor has in a visit is limited and time for charting is always inadequate.
Electronic health record (EHR) applications are all different, but it's feasible for nearly all to produce output that would look like JSON data.
This page is a way to take that output and add value to it. You wind up with some helpful information and recommendations for the patient. The doctor can save the information in the chart (including JSON) for documentation purposes and also for comparison at future visits.
The calculators are all JavaScript (necessarily all client-side - important for privacy/HIPAA purposes) and this means these calculators work offline.
