Description

The simplest one-stop shop for clinical RDs. Designed by the experienced RDs at Stanford Hospital and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center to bring all nutrition support needs into the palm of your hand. Easily saves 10+ minutes per patient -- seriously, an RD's best friend. Based on daily routines across all types of patients, we jammed EVERYTHING we need into just 3 simple screens. We've thoroughly tested the app in our own daily routines over the past year, and can't imagine not having this app anymore. We've double-checked calculations many times and automated everything including tube feeding formulas where possible, so you don't have to. Screen 1: Quick Nutrition Needs -- Quickly determine BMI, IBW, kcal needs (both MSJ and Penn State, for on or off ventilation), and protein needs. Easily account for stress factor and protein multipliers. Screen 2: Instant Tube Feeds -- Determine total volume, kcal, gm protein, %kcal protein, gm CHO, %kcal CHO, and mL free H2O in literally seconds. Screen 3: Parental Nutrition (TPN) calculator -- Input rate and duration, and either grams or percentage dextrose/amino acids/lipids to determine total volume, kcal, gm protein, gm CHO, GIR, and gm fat/kg. Works for both 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 methods. We made this app to fulfill our own biggest painpoints, but after realizing how indispensable it's become to us, we hope it's helpful for others now too. Feedback from clinical RDs is welcome! Just tweet us @NutricalcApp

    Jevity 1.5 and Glucerna 1.5 not accurate with protein, free fluid. Also TPN calculator not correct.
  • Formula nutrient provision needs updating.

    Good app, but many Nestle formulas have changed slightly and the app has not been updated accordingly. Also, only way to contact developer is on Facebook, for which I do not have an account.
  • Great app for clinical RDs

    Be wary of the data you are getting from this app! I have been using this app for sometime and just recently discovered it has the incorrect data for the formula Nutren 1.5 when compared directly with the Nestle nutrition panel information.
  • Needs a few tweaks

    Great, user-friendly format. Usually fairly accurate, but can be off on protein and fluid for TF calculations (such as Nutren 1.5). With just a few changes in formula accuracy, I could use it with more confidence for my TF calculations. Thanks for developing this!
  • So impressed!

    I have used this app for about a month and I am so pleased with the ease and accuracy of the calculators, the built-in formulary and the time it has saved me because it is right at my fingertips. In fact, I am in the process of reviewing this app in for a newsletter article. In an absolute perfect world, the only additional calculators I would add, it would be to include a IV dextrose and Propofol calculator. No complaints here! Fantastic job!
  • This app is a keeper

    Just downloaded and played around with this, but I can already tell I'll be using this app every day for all my patients. I'll be telling everyone in my RD group about this!
  • Amazing!

    This app is the most user-friendly for clinical dietitians that I've used. I wish I had found it sooner! It calculates MSJ (or Penn State) and kcal/kg simultaneously, which is helpful when I calculate nutrition requirements in multiple ways to compare the numbers. The EN and TPN calculations also save significant time while charting.
