Caspian Healthcare › Obesity › Free tools
Twelve of them, and a guide to storing medicine. No sign-up, no email, no payment, and no catch. Every one is built on a published instrument or a published trial result, and every one names its source on the page so you can check it.
BMI, waist and waist-to-height against the Indian cut-offs, and the two-stage definition of obesity.
Open · 2 minutesHow much weight is affecting your health, stage 0 to 4, and what each stage means for treatment. Best done with your blood test results in hand.
Open · 5 minutesThe Indian Diabetes Risk Score, developed in Chennai and re-validated on 98,454 Indians. Four questions, no blood test.
Open · 1 minuteThe five criteria, with the waist thresholds that apply to Indians rather than the Western ones. Needs a recent lab report.
Open · 2 minutesFIB-4 and the Hepatic Steatosis Index, from a routine report you already have. Tells you whether fatty liver needs a specialist.
Open · 2 minutesThree things that quietly decide whether weight treatment works, and that almost nobody is asked about.
Open · 3 minutesNot a number on a scale. Diabetes remission odds, blood pressure, liver, sleep apnoea, knees, ovulation, at 5, 10 and 15 per cent.
Open · 3 minutesLog weight and waist, see the trend rather than the daily noise, and get the published early-response and plateau rules.
Open · ongoingWork out what your budget supports and for how long, then print a one-page brief to bring to the appointment.
Open · 4 minutesHit your protein target on Indian food, with the cost shown next to the grams. Vegetarian, eggetarian, non-vegetarian and Jain.
Open · 5 minutesRules out what you could not keep up for a year, then ranks what is left by the evidence, with the cost for each kilogram.
Open · 4 minutesPick the questions you want to ask, add your own, and print the list to take with you.
Open · 3 minutesKeeping refrigerated medicine safe through summer and power cuts, while travelling, and how to get rid of used needles.
Open · guideEvery calculator on this site in one place, including kidney function (eGFR), anaemia and weekly insulin dosing.
Open · all toolsEverything happens inside your browser. Everything you type into the tools in this section is worked out inside your own browser and stays on your own device. Nothing is sent to us, nothing is stored on any server, and nobody at the clinic sees it. Close the page and it is gone. There is no account, no tracking of your answers, and no lead form standing between you and the result.
They are screening tools, not diagnoses. Screening tools are built to be over-sensitive on purpose: a high result means look further, not that you have the condition. Where a tool has a poor positive predictive value, it says so on its own page rather than leaving you to assume the worst.
Some of them will tell you nothing is wrong. That is the point. A tool that always concludes you need an appointment is a booking form wearing a lab coat. These will genuinely tell you when your numbers look fine, and several of them do that for most people who use them.
Two of the standard sleep questionnaires, and two of the standard eating-disorder questionnaires, are copyrighted instruments that require a paid or written licence before anyone may publish them. Rather than reproduce them without permission, or quietly rename them, the sleep and eating sections use an unscored checklist of the same clinical features, with no score and no cut-off. It is less tidy and it is honest.
Bring the result. Print it or take a photograph of the screen. Nothing here is meant to be alarming on its own, and most of what these tools find is straightforwardly treatable once somebody has actually looked at it.
Obesity is assessed and treated at Caspian Healthcare like any other long term condition. A consultation is ₹500 and includes a blood glucose check and a diet consultation.
