Find the Right Clinical Reference Tool for Your Situation

These tools serve healthcare professionals, students, and informed patients who need quick access to standardized clinical calculations and screening scores. They implement published, validated instruments that appear in clinical practice — the PHQ-9, GAD-7, Glasgow Coma Scale, GLP-1 dosing guidelines, and others. Use them as reference aids alongside clinical judgment, not as standalone diagnostic tools.

Mental Health Screening Tools

Standardized screening questionnaires are the starting point for mental health assessment in primary care and psychiatric settings. The PHQ-9 Depression Screener implements the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire with standard severity scoring — minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), moderately severe (15-19), severe (20-27). For anxiety, the GAD-7 Anxiety Screener uses the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale with the same validated cutoffs. The PCL-5 PTSD Screener implements the 20-item PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, with a provisional diagnosis threshold of 33 or higher. For attention concerns, the ADHD ASRS Screener uses the World Health Organization's Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. These tools present each question exactly as it appears in the validated instrument and calculate scores using standard clinical cutoffs.

GLP-1 Medications and Weight Management

GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide) have specific titration schedules and dose-response patterns. The GLP-1 Dosing Schedule maps out the standard titration timeline for the major medications, showing weekly dose escalation from starting dose to maintenance. The GLP-1 Weight Loss Calculator estimates projected weight loss based on clinical trial average response rates at each medication and dose. The GLP-1 Cost Calculator compares brand name versus compounded options with insurance scenarios, and the GLP-1 Protein Calculator helps users on these medications maintain adequate protein intake during weight loss to preserve lean body mass.

Clinical Assessment Tools

Clinical scoring tools provide standardized communication between care providers and consistent documentation. The Glasgow Coma Scale calculator scores eye, verbal, and motor responses (GCS 3-15) with standard severity thresholds: severe (≤8), moderate (9-12), mild (13-15). The APGAR Score Calculator computes the standard newborn assessment at 1 and 5 minutes on the five components (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration). The Epworth Sleepiness Scale screens for excessive daytime sleepiness, and the MMSE Cognitive Screener implements the 30-point Mini-Mental State Examination for cognitive assessment.

Medication Dosing and Clinical Reference

The Medication Dosage Calculator handles weight-based dosing calculations — commonly needed for pediatric dosing or medications dosed in mg/kg. Enter patient weight, prescribed dose, and concentration to verify the correct volume to administer. The IV Drip Rate Calculator converts medication orders to drops per minute or mL per hour for manual and electronic infusion settings. The Medication Half-Life Calculator shows drug concentration at any time point after the last dose, useful for understanding wash-out periods. The Needle Gauge Chart is a quick reference matching gauge numbers to outer diameter, inner diameter, and common use cases.

How These Tools Are Intended to Be Used

Healthcare professionals can use these tools as rapid calculation verification aids during clinical workflows, reducing manual arithmetic errors for weight-based dosing and infusion rate calculations. Students in nursing, pharmacy, and medical programs will find the clinical scoring tools helpful for learning the validated questionnaires and scoring methods used in practice. Patients and caregivers researching treatment options or trying to understand clinical scores mentioned during appointments can use these tools for educational context, always with the understanding that interpretation requires clinical judgment. The mental health screening tools are sometimes used by individuals in areas with limited mental health access as a starting point to understand their symptoms before seeking professional evaluation. In all cases, a positive screen or concerning result should prompt professional consultation, not independent action based on a calculator result alone. All tools in this section run entirely in your browser — no responses, scores, or personal health data are transmitted to any server or stored anywhere. This design is intentional for health-related tools where data sensitivity is high. Every calculation stays on your device and disappears when you close the browser tab. For clinical reference use, these tools are designed to reduce arithmetic errors and provide quick score lookups — the kind of calculations that are simple in principle but easy to miscount when done manually under time pressure. They're built to be fast: one input field, one result, no menus or navigation required. Clinical calculators that require navigating multiple screens or entering unnecessary patient demographics slow down the lookup process and increase friction. These tools prioritize the minimum inputs needed for the calculation and return the result immediately. For healthcare educators, the standardized scoring tools can also serve as teaching aids for students learning to administer and interpret validated instruments for the first time.
