Recommend healthy weight for BMI
The feature for checking a patient's BMI is one of the most used for me, however I get a lot of patients asking me what their recommended weight should be, they don't necessary always want just the BMI percentage. I know it says if it under/normal/over weight but it would be even better it added the recommended weight for them.
Thank you!2 votesWe have a second formula called “Body Weights” that sports a couple of ideal weight calculations and also shows you the BMI. I hope this is satisfactory for now, we may consider consolidating those two formulas into one in the future.

Canadian Head CT rule
In the german localisation, the "amnesia"-checkbox reads "Anterograde Amnesie". According to the article in Lancet that is linked in the formula, "Amnesia before impact >30 min [is associated with] medium risk (for brain injury on CT)". That would translate to retrograde amnesia, not anterograde amnesia. I'm not sure if this is specific to the german localisation, but maybe it's worth checking anyway?
Thank you for an otherwise marvellous tool!2 votesThanks for the hint, this has been wrongly translated to German as well as French, will be fixed in the next update!

Hello,
I use routinely the 41 calculators I've faved, I would appreciate seeing them grouped by categories instead of alphabetically - maybe unnecessary if you have <10 favs, but with bigger numbers it would improve usability.
