By accessing or using TheraCALC, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the platform. These terms apply to all users of TheraCALC, including healthcare professionals accessing the platform for clinical decision support.
- Use of TheraCALC constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Use in full. These terms apply each time you access the platform, regardless of device or location.
- TheraCALC reserves the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform following any posted update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The version date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
- These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
- TheraCALC is intended exclusively for use by licensed healthcare professionals in the United States. It is a clinical decision-support tool and does not replace professional clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or direct patient assessment.
- By using TheraCALC, you represent that you are a licensed clinician or healthcare professional and that you understand the limitations of calculator-based clinical tools.
- TheraCALC is not intended for use by patients, caregivers, or the general public. It is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
Clinical responsibility
All outputs from TheraCALC — including dose recommendations, interpretations, and clinical flags — are estimates based on population-derived formulas. Users are solely responsible for verifying results and applying clinical judgment before acting on any output.
- TheraCALC, including its name, visual design, clinical logic, calculator outputs, and the TheraIQ engine, is the original and proprietary work of its developers. All rights are reserved.
- No part of TheraCALC may be reproduced, reverse engineered, recreated, or used to develop derivative works — including for commercial purposes — without prior written permission. This applies to the platform as a whole and to any individual components, including clinical rules, logic structures, user interface elements, and methodology documents.
- The TheraIQ name and engine are proprietary. Use of the TheraIQ name, branding, or any representation of its methodology in other products or publications without authorization is prohibited.
- Calculator outputs generated by TheraCALC may be used for patient care purposes by the licensed clinician accessing them. Redistribution, incorporation into other clinical tools, or use of outputs to train, benchmark, or inform competing products is prohibited.
Permissions & licensing
Organizations or developers interested in licensing TheraCALC content, methodology, or clinical logic for legitimate purposes are welcome to reach out. TheraCALC supports institutional collaboration where appropriate.
- Users may not attempt to access, extract, or copy the underlying code, logic, or data structures of TheraCALC through any means, including automated tools, browser inspection, or reverse engineering.
- Scraping, crawling, or any form of automated access to TheraCALC is prohibited without express written authorization.
- Users may not misrepresent the source of TheraCALC outputs or present them in a way that implies independent development of equivalent clinical logic.
- Any use of TheraCALC that violates applicable US federal or state law, including healthcare privacy laws, is strictly prohibited.
- TheraCALC is provided as-is for clinical decision support. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy and currency of clinical content, TheraCALC makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, or fitness for a particular clinical purpose of any output.
- Despite ongoing development and review efforts, TheraCALC may contain unintentional errors — including logic errors, formula inaccuracies, incorrect thresholds, or technical malfunctions — that could affect the accuracy of outputs. The presence of such errors, whether known or unknown at the time of use, does not alter the user's responsibility to independently verify all results before clinical application.
- Users are expected to exercise independent professional judgment and due diligence with every calculation. No output from TheraCALC should be applied to patient care without verification against current clinical references, institutional protocols, and the user's own clinical assessment.
- TheraCALC and its developers are not liable for clinical decisions made on the basis of platform outputs, including those arising from undetected errors or software defects. Responsibility for all clinical decisions remains with the treating clinician.
- TheraCALC may be updated, modified, or taken offline at any time without prior notice. Availability of the platform is not guaranteed.
Due diligence notice
Always verify TheraCALC outputs against an independent source before clinical use. No calculator — regardless of its design or validation — eliminates the need for clinical judgment. If a result appears inconsistent with the clinical picture, trust your assessment and consult primary references.
