About PediTools

The publicly accesssible PediTools website was launched in January 2012 to provide clinical calculators for pediatric providers. It was originally developed to allow LMS-based calculations on anthropometric measurements of individual patients, but has since grown to provide a wider array of tools.

Written by a clinician for clinicians, the overarching design goal has been to provide practical tools for use at the point of care.

If you use PediTools for a publication or clinical guideline, please consider citing Chou JH et al., J Med Internet Res 2020;22(1):e16204 (available open access PDF).
