# DoseCalculators.jl



Gtk medication dosage calculators for Julia

## Usage:

First you should define a function which takes named  arguments weight = kg, height = cm, and age = years.

See the file examples/medication_formulas.jl for examples of formulas. 

This type of app does not consider concomitant medications. If there are such issues, consider mention in the text of `rlabel`.





#### Always sanity check medical apps for errors! Unchecked unit or decimal place errors can kill!





## Functions:

  

####    dose_calculator_app(func::Function, title = "Dose Calculator", rlabel = "Results")

Create a `Gtk` widget with entries for `weight`, `height`, `age`, and dose interval.

Arguments:

`func` is a function which takes named arguments age = years, weight =  kg, height = cm and returns total 24-hour dosage in mg.

`title` is the title for the app, and 

`rlabel` is the label to be given the results





## Example:

     

    using DoseCalculators

     

    function amoxicillin_po(; age, weight, height)

        if age <= 3/12

            return weight * 30.0

        elseif age <= 16 && weight <= 40

            return weight * 37.0

        else

            return 1500.0

        end

    end

     

    dose_calculator_app(amoxicillin_po, "Amoxicillin PO Dosing", "Amoxicillin dosage(mg)")

                                       

See the `examples` directory for other examples of formulas.





  

  

## Installation:
