**Technologies:** React, TypeScript, Netlify

---

A clinical risk calculator that estimates the probability of 90-day heart failure hospitalization or death at the time of hospital discharge, using four evidence-based parameters.

## Purpose

Acute heart failure readmissions are a persistent challenge in hospital medicine. This tool provides a quick, bedside-friendly risk estimate that helps clinicians decide on disposition, follow-up intensity, and whether further predischarge optimization is warranted.

## Inputs

- NT-proBNP
- Systolic blood pressure
- Left atrial volume index (LAVI)
- Lung ultrasound B-lines

## Key Features

- Clean single-page form with sensible clinical defaults
- Risk stratification on a 0–4 scale with guidance language
- Expandable parameter explanations for teaching
- Copy-to-clipboard result summary for documentation
- Mobile-first layout for ward rounds

**Technologies:** React, Vite, Netlify

---

A dosing calculator for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, designed to help inpatient teams configure opioid infusion, demand-dose, and lockout parameters quickly and consistently.

## Purpose

PCA settings require several interlocking calculations (basal rate, demand dose, lockout interval, hourly limit) that are error-prone under cognitive load. This tool standardizes the math and surfaces sensible ranges for common agents.

## Key Features

- Agent-specific calculation flows
- Basal, demand-dose, lockout, and 1-hour and 4-hour limits
- Conservative defaults with inline guidance
- Mobile-optimized for on-call use

**Technologies:** React, Netlify

---

A structured discharge planning tool that helps internal medicine teams coordinate the many moving pieces of a hospital discharge — medications, follow-up, equipment, transportation, and patient education.

## Purpose

Good discharges prevent readmissions, but they require tracking a long checklist across nurses, case managers, pharmacy, and outpatient clinics. This tool formalizes the checklist in one place and lets the team see what's outstanding at a glance.

## Key Features

- Discharge checklist grouped by domain (meds, follow-up, equipment, education)
- Quick-toggle items with visual completion state
- Copy-to-clipboard handoff summary
- Mobile-friendly for rounds

**Visit site:** [noteclean.netlify.app](https://noteclean.netlify.app)

**Technologies:** React, Netlify

---

A clinical note formatting and cleanup tool that standardizes messy, copy-pasted EHR text — stripping artifacts, fixing spacing, normalizing section headers, and producing a clean document ready for chart paste-back.

## Purpose

Notes imported from EHRs often arrive cluttered with navigation text, duplicate headers, inconsistent line breaks, and irregular casing. Cleaning them by hand is tedious and error-prone. NoteClean automates the pass.

## Key Features

- Paste-in, clean-out workflow
- Removes boilerplate header/footer junk
- Normalizes whitespace and section casing
- Preserves intentional structure (assessment, plan, problem list)
- Client-side only — no PHI ever leaves the browser

---

A searchable catalog of Epic EHR dot phrases and note templates. Built so clinicians can quickly find the right shortcut for a given clinical scenario without wading through lists of trigger names.

## Purpose

Dot phrases are a core productivity tool in Epic, but institutional libraries balloon into hundreds of entries with cryptic names. This tool indexes them by intent and body text so users can search by what the phrase does, not just what it's named.

## Key Features

- Full-text search over phrase names and expanded content
- Preview of expanded template
- Copy-to-clipboard of phrase trigger
- Tagged by specialty and note type
- Mobile-friendly
