Due Dater
Due Dater is a fully featured due date calculator for working physicians who make many of these calculations per day. I designed it to meet my need for a calculator that did everything correctly and quickly, without stuff I didn’t want. I hope you find it as useful as I do.
When I created Due Dater, I wanted to meet many goals:
-
1)Needs to do any calculation you can imagine. If you can think it, Due Dater can do it. Forwards, backwards, LMP, EDC, “Best Dates”
-
2)I wanted it all on once screen, without losing features. To achieve this the selection wheels are hidden except when needed.
3) I wanted to be able to compare several due dates at a time. This is crucial when a patient shows up with five different due dates her previous physician gave her. To efficiently figure out which is right I need to be able to put in several at once.
-
4)Needs to be able to turn two pieces of ultrasound data into three. Give it the date of the ultrasound and gestational age at that time and it will give you the EDC, or any combination of those you want. I use this every day.
-
5)Needs to be correct. ALWAYS. Surprisingly, some software doesn’t meet this basic goal by not considering leap years and other complications. Plastic wheels are often 1-2 days off because of these problems. Due Dater isn’t.
I hope you find Due Dater as useful as I find it in my practice.
