| Last year, my doctor mentioned I should pay attention to my cardiovascular risk. I searched for online calculators and found two problems: they were either filled with ads or simply threw numbers at you without explaining what they meant. So I built AIRiskCalc. It's a collection of free health risk assessment tools with AI interpretation. Currently live with five calculators: ASCVD Risk (10-year cardiovascular risk based on ACC/AHA 2013 Pooled Cohort Equations)
Type 2 Diabetes Risk (ADA assessment model)
Cardiovascular Risk (multi-factor evaluation)
CVD Risk (cerebrovascular focus)
Miscarriage Risk (early pregnancy assessment)
Implementation: Next.js 15, Cloudflare Pages. AI layer uses Vercel AI SDK with Claude. One detail I paid attention to: the ASCVD formula involves logarithmic transformations and coefficient matrices from the original 2013 paper. I transcribed the equations into TypeScript and verified against sample data in the paper's appendix. Each calculator displays the reference source in code comments. Results include AI-generated explanations of what the numbers mean. No personal data is collected. The question I'm thinking about: where's the line between helpful AI interpretation and overstepping into medical advice? I want the tool to be useful without replacing professional judgment. Feedback welcome on this balance. |
