MedCalc AI Pro
AI-Powered Clinical Decision Support Tool
The Concept
Healthcare professionals need quick, reliable access to clinical calculators and evidence-based guidance at the point of care. MedCalc AI Pro combines a curated library of essential medical calculators with Google's Gemini AI to provide not just scores, but intelligent clinical interpretation backed by current medical literature.
This tool bridges the gap between traditional calculator apps and AI-powered clinical assistants, offering both instant calculations and contextual, evidence-based recommendations when clinicians need deeper insights.
The Solution
Built as a modern React application, MedCalc AI Pro provides a professional interface for clinical calculations across multiple specialties. Each calculator includes standard scoring and interpretation, with an optional AI analysis feature that leverages Google's Gemini API with grounded search to provide:
- Real-time clinical assessment summaries
- Evidence-based management recommendations
- Direct citations from current medical literature
- Verifiable sources through grounded search
The application features smart organization, allowing clinicians to browse calculators by specialty (Cardiology, Hepatology, Nephrology) or by clinical setting (Emergency, Inpatient, Outpatient), making the right tool easy to find in any context.

Technologies Used
Architecture & Deployment
Built with modern web technologies for optimal performance and developer experience. The application uses Vite for fast builds and hot module replacement, React 19 for the UI, and TypeScript for type safety. The entire application compiles to static files, allowing deployment to any static hosting platform without requiring a Node.js server in production.
The AI integration uses Google's Gemini Flash model with grounded search enabled, ensuring that clinical recommendations are backed by verifiable sources from medical literature. All API calls include proper error handling and loading states for a smooth user experience.
