Antibiotic Calculator — precision in service of pediatrics
The Antibiotic Calculator is a Class I SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) web application designed for pediatricians and other healthcare professionals. Its purpose is to support therapeutic decision-making by enabling fast, safe, and reliable calculation of antibiotic doses for pediatric patients.
Purpose and Functionality
The application allows physicians to precisely calculate doses of medications containing amoxicillin (with or without clavulanic acid), taking into account the child’s body weight, type of infection, and current therapeutic guidelines.
The system automatically calculates:
- the daily amount of oral suspension in milliliters,
- dosing frequency,
- the number and size of packages required for 5- or 7-day therapy.
Data Reliability
All values used in the application’s algorithms originate from the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). They are stored in a secure external database, ensuring that users always have access to up-to-date information adapted to specific markets and available packaging formats.
Safety and Compliance
As a Class I medical device, the application meets safety requirements and complies with MDR (Medical Device Regulation). Its system architecture is designed to enable easy updates and seamless integration with other digital med-tech solutions.
Project Value
The Antibiotic Calculator is a simple yet highly effective way to increase the precision of pediatric drug dosing and minimize the risk of therapeutic errors. The tool supports daily clinical practice as well as educational and promotional activities related to specific pharmaceutical products.
Development Potential
The concept of the calculator can be successfully expanded into other therapeutic areas — such as oncology, diabetology, or cardiology — creating personalized solutions that support physicians in clinical decision-making.
