The calculation helper tool is used to check the syntax and output of your calculations. You can find the calculation helper by clicking on the Support button:
In the tool page you will see different buttons and sections:
- Define your variables: In the field on the left you have to define the variables that you are going to use (see the example). In the example the patient's weight is 80 and their height is 1.80.
- Calculation template: In the field on the right you can build your own calculation (in this case with the variable {pat_weight} and {pat_height}).
- Copy to clipboard: Use this button to copy the link with the template that you have created.
- Syntax check: If there are any issues with your script, they will appear in this field.
- Final formula: Here you will see the calculation template with the actual values of the variables.
- Result: The final outcome of the calculation will be displayed in this field.
