Health 101™ performs dozens of functions and computations.

How?
Computation of specific equations always follows the equation presented in the same page of the calculator panel. For example, the Ideal Body Weight Calculator computes the IBW based on the equation presented in the same page. Variables (parameters) and units are specified. If different units are entered, first the program converts the units to the units used in the equation and then computes the result.

Rounding
Health 101™ is designed to round off decimals to a number that makes sense clinically (usually 0, 1 or 2 decimals).

Negative numbers and Off-limits calculations
In general, numbers must be positive numbers (greater than 0) unless otherwise stated.
Results default to 0 (or blank) when inputs/outputs are off-limits.

Inputs/Outputs
  • Calculators with one single equation require all input fields to be filled out in order to obtain a result. (See Computations below).

  • Master Calculators (with multiple equations) compute results on the basis of availability (of inputs), they do not require that all the input fields be filled out in order to obtain a result.


    • Click the CALCULATE and RESET buttons
    Once all the input fields and data has been entered, click on the Calculate button to obtain an Output result. Remember to click the calculate button after making changes to the inputs to obtain a correct result. To clear off all the inputs and reset the calculator panel click on the RESET button. Notice that leaving a page will erase the input data already captured.

    COMPUTATIONS

  • All computations follow the equations presented in the same page. Unit conversions (if any) use the Conversion Factors presented in the Table of Parameters.
  • Select Units first and fill all the fields, click on the Calculate button to obtain an Output Result.

  • Remember to click on the Calculate Button after making any changes to the Inputs (values or units). When the Output Parameter Units are changed, the output field Value is automatically converted (recomputed) to the selected Units.

  • Clicking on the PRINT Button automatically recomputes the outputs and generates a print-format in a second browser window.

    • See the Computations DEMO to learn more about it.
