Work & Installation — Input to Output Summary:

  • Input: Weight (kg or lbs) and height (cm or inches).
  • Process: The calculator can use several formulas, most commonly the Mosteller formula:
    \( BSA = \sqrt{\frac{\textrm{height (cm)} \times \textrm{weight (kg)}}{3600}} \)
    Du Bois & Du Bois:
    \( BSA = 0.007184 \times height^{0.725} \times wight^{0.425} \)
    Haycock
    \( BSA = 0.024265 \times height^{0.725} \times wight^{0.425} \)
  • Output:

Testing and Final Adjustments

Test the BSA calculator with the reference data of standard medical tables to test the accuracy of the formula in all formulas. Check that the users are able to freely change between metric and imperial units and that the precision of the decimals is the same. Label formula labels so that the users understand what method they are using. Validation in the field to avoid unrealistic values (e.g, height less than 50 cm or weight more than 300 kg). Make the UI user-friendly and calculate instantly when there is a change in the input. Clinical understanding: To provide clinical clarity, show tooltips to justify how BSA applies to drugs and chemotherap,y as well as to medical examinations. Include a disclaimer, as the information is to be used only as information and is not to be used in place of professional medical advice. SEO Optimize good metadata, headings, and descriptions using low competition keywords.
