flow: - you send an email to [email protected] for information [hopefully to mitigate redirection to junk mail to some degree] - you get an email reply which lists available books and explains email command for subscribing. - after subscribing you get a weekly, 703-word excerpt of a public domain book, usually from the Gutenberg Project.

in a clinic visit the EHR sometimes doesn't have the calculator you need or it might not be exactly the output you need. so this site has calculators and you can save output temporarily via IndexedDB so you can move on to the next patient and then document later.

Show HN: JSON Input for Medical Calculators

https://cliniborg.com/2024/07/30/clinical-calculators-json/

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...

A better point that escaped me last night when I submitted this is that JSON input could actually be a part of an improved workflow. The doctor makes a template using structured data from his or her electronic health record. The template output goes into the form as JSON input. The doctor then has information and recommendations for the patient. The doctor can save the information in the chart (including the JSON data) for comparison next time and as a record of what was discussed. That's a better selling point for this thing, I think.

I don't like dictating. Clicking and moving the mouse take my attention away from the patient. Just updating the JSON items is faster and I can save the JSON in the patient note and it will be faster the next time I see them. All information stays on local computer (HIPAA). Simple HTML calcs can be used offline. All code is public on GitHub.
