Medicalcul - Medical calculator & scores

Medicalcul is a medical calculation tool that enables users to compute various scores and formulas, such as creatinine clearance, Apgar score, and body surface area burned. A comprehensive list of these calculations is available within the application. When you first install the software, it prompts you to perform an update to gather the necessary data. After completing this process, you can use Medicalcul offline, eliminating the requirement for internet access. The software periodically checks for updates and will notify you when new versions are available so you can resume importing files. You have the option to update while connected to Wi-Fi to save your work.

You can indeed add additional scores or formulas, and I welcome communication regarding this matter. If you have bibliographic references related to the features you wish to see included, feel free to share them with me to expedite my research.

Currently, Medicalcul is available exclusively in French. For users in the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia), please be aware that network issues may arise when attempting to import data due to restrictions placed on certain Internet Service Providers in France. Testing from another network connection might yield better results, although the use of this software in those countries cannot be fully guaranteed.

A known issue exists with Samsung mobile devices, which affects the input of decimal points on the keyboard. To address this limitation, you can use the designated icon on the shortcut bar to enter decimal values.

Title: An Indispensable and Reliable Clinical Companion for Swift, Accurate Medical Calculations

My experience with Medicalcul has been transformative in my clinical workflow, providing a trusted, offline-ready toolkit that delivers precision and efficiency when moments count. As a medical professional, the ability to instantly compute critical scores—from creatinine clearance and Apgar to burn surface area—directly at the point of care, without fumbling through manuals or relying on spotty connectivity, is invaluable. The interface is clean and intuitive, allowing rapid data entry and delivering clear results, which greatly reduces the risk of error during time-sensitive assessments. 

I particularly appreciate the thoughtful design touches, such as the decimal-point shortcut that neatly addresses the Samsung keyboard issue, and the app’s conscientious update system that respects data usage by favoring Wi-Fi for downloads. While the app is currently available only in French, its logical layout and standardized medical terminology make it reasonably accessible to healthcare workers familiar with medical French. Developed by a practicing emergency physician, Medicalcul carries a level of credibility and practical insight that is palpable in its selection of formulas and attention to detail. It’s more than an app—it’s a professional-grade digital aide that enhances both accuracy and confidence in daily practice.

FAQ Section:

• Can the app be used completely offline?

Yes, once installed and updated, all calculations are available offline, making it ideal for use in areas with limited or no internet access, such as hospitals with poor connectivity or during emergencies.

• Is Medicalcul available in English or other languages?

Currently, the app is only available in French. International users with medical French proficiency will find it functional, though localization may be needed for broader global use.

• How often is the app updated with new formulas or scores?

Updates are released periodically. The app notifies users when new versions are available, often incorporating user-suggested formulas, especially when supported by bibliographic references.

• What should I do if I encounter network issues in the Maghreb region?

If data import fails, try switching to a different network or Wi-Fi. Usage in certain regions may be limited due to ISP restrictions, but core offline functions remain unaffected.
