Medical calculators

Clinical and patient-facing calculators for UAE healthcare. Oxygen cylinder duration (metric bar or imperial psi, UAE BOC and US sizes), and pharmacy insurance co-pay estimation. All formulas traced to peer-reviewed clinical sources — NCBI StatPearls, NHS, Cornell PICU, Cleveland Clinic. Estimates only; not a substitute for clinical judgement.

Frequently asked questions

Are these calculators safe to use clinically?

They are estimates designed to support clinical decision-making, not replace it. Always verify with the device label (cylinder pressure, insurance policy document), follow your facility's protocols, and apply clinical judgement. Patient acuity, equipment calibration, and altitude can all affect actual values.

Why are formulas from US and UK sources?

Medical-gas physics and insurance arithmetic are universal — there's no UAE-specific formula for cylinder duration or co-pay arithmetic. We use the most rigorously published sources (NCBI StatPearls for cylinder factors, NHS guidance for BOC sizes, UAE DHA/HAAD policy frameworks for insurance) and verify each value against multiple authorities before publishing.

What cylinder sizes does the oxygen calculator support?

Metric (UAE / Europe / UK): 10L and 40L at 200 bar, plus BOC CD (460 L @ 230 bar), HX (2,300 L @ 230 bar), ZX (3,040 L @ 300 bar). Imperial (US): D, E, M, and H/K with standard cylinder factors (0.16, 0.28, 1.56, 3.14). Custom mode lets you enter water capacity or factor for unusual cylinders.

How is UAE pharmacy co-pay structured?

UAE health insurance plans typically have a percentage co-pay (commonly 10-20%) plus an annual cap (commonly AED 1,500-3,000 out-of-pocket). Above the cap, the insurer covers 100% of in-network charges. Some plans add a per-prescription floor. The Pharmacy Co-pay Calculator handles all four variables.

More medical calculators coming?

Yes — planned: IV drip rate, GFR / creatinine clearance, fluid maintenance, BSA (body surface area), Apgar, and adult nutrition for tube feeding. If there's one you'd find useful, email hello@liphyr.com.
