[Gnumed-devel] Pregnancy Calculator was BMI Calc

[richard terry]

Thanks michael, going great guns.

Now re the preg calculator - I think Ian did that design (no offence ian but 
Ugg!!!). I enclose an aesthetic example which is very functional. The dual 
calender one gives the user too much to look at. The one enclosed is good.

The way it works is this: user either clicks on the calender and the text 
boxes are filled in  showing lmp, gestational age in weeks and days, then edc 
and date 18/52 morphology scan is due.

With the scan one can update edc by filling in the bit below.

Now, this is very basic, and at some point we would need to take into more 
modern advances with ante-natal screening etc, but for the time being this 
calculator will satisfy 99% of most routine pregnancies. Needs buttons to 
save to database etc.

Note, that like the BMI calculator this SHOULD NOT      automatically link to 
the 
patients notes as one often uses these little tools whilst on phone, dealing 
with another patient etc. The doctor/user should activly save the information 
if it is recorded in the currentpatients notes.

Regards

Richard
