Free healthcalculators

They are six free calculators for adults in Malta and Gozo. Five of them work with weight and nutrition: body mass index, the calories you burn in a day, a calorie deficit, a daily protein range and a daily water intake. The sixth is a symptom check for men who are wondering about low testosterone. Each one explains the sum it is doing and what that sum cannot see.

Yes. Every calculator on this page is free, and so is the first assessment if you decide to speak to a doctor afterwards. There is nothing to buy before you get your result.

The arithmetic runs in your browser, on your own device. Nothing you enter leaves it while you are working through a calculator. Each tool then asks for an email address before it shows your result, and only at that point are your answers sent to us.

Because we would rather be able to follow up with something useful than hand you a number and disappear. You are told before you submit, the maths has already happened on your device, and there are two separate boxes to tick: one so we may handle your health answers, and one so we may contact you about our services. Neither is ticked for you, and the second one is optional. Your answers are health data, they are held in medical confidence, and they are never used for advertising.

Yes, and only metric. Heights are in centimetres, weights in kilograms, drinks in litres and 250 ml glasses, food energy in kilocalories and protein in grams. Decimals are written the European way, with a comma, so twenty six and a half reads as 26,5. If you type a full stop instead of a comma, the calculators understand that too.

No, and none of these tools tries to. A calculator knows only the few things you typed into it. It cannot see your medical history, your medication, your bloods or how you feel, and it cannot diagnose anything. What it can do is give you a starting number and a reason to have a proper conversation. A Malta-registered doctor reads the whole picture.

Adults aged 18 and over in Malta and Gozo. They are not designed for children, for pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for athletes carrying a lot of muscle, and the numbers they produce read poorly in those situations. If you are being treated for a heart, kidney or liver condition, or if eating has become difficult, follow the advice of the clinician who knows your case rather than a page like this one.

Nothing you did not ask for. You see your result and you can close the tab. If you would like a doctor to look at the wider picture, you can start a free assessment, which is a short set of questions. A Malta-registered doctor then goes through your answers with you on a video call.
