MedCalc is an educational reference tool for healthcare professionals. It is not a source of medical advice, not a diagnostic tool, and never a substitute for clinical judgment.

For professionals

Every calculator, score, recommendation, reference value, and AI-drafted note in the App and on this website is provided for educational and reference purposes only. Clinical tools of this kind can contain errors, become outdated as guidelines change, or fail to account for an individual patient’s full clinical picture. Verify any output against current guidelines, your institution’s protocols, and your own assessment of the patient before acting on it. Responsibility for every clinical decision remains entirely with the treating professional.

For patients and the public

This App and website are designed for healthcare professionals and students. If you are not a healthcare professional, do not use anything here to make decisions about your own or anyone else’s health. For medical concerns, consult a qualified healthcare provider. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

AI-generated content

The App’s optional AI Note feature produces machine-generated draft text, clearly labeled as such. AI-generated content can be incomplete or incorrect and must be reviewed by a qualified professional before any use in a medical record.

Regulatory status

MedCalc is not a medical device and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA, CE, or any comparable regulatory body. VitaliSyn Group is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate; professionals remain responsible for their own regulatory and institutional compliance when using any output of the App.
