Disclaimer

Last updated: March 2026

1. Medical Disclaimer

The information, tools, calculators, and content provided on HealthCalc India are strictly for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes medical advice, medical diagnosis, clinical assessment, or medical treatment of any kind.

Health calculators produce results based on generalised population averages and validated statistical models. These models estimate population-level risk — they do not predict individual outcomes. A "High Risk" result does not confirm a medical condition. A "Low Risk" result does not mean you are free of health issues.

You should never:

• Treat any calculator result as a substitute for a medical examination
• Use results to self-diagnose any condition
• Start, stop, or change medication or treatment based on calculator results
• Delay seeking medical care because of a reassuring calculator result

Always consult a qualified, registered doctor or healthcare professional for any health concerns.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of this Site does not create any doctor-patient, therapist-patient, or healthcare provider relationship between you and HealthCalc India or its operators. We are a digital health information tool, not a healthcare provider.

3. Calculator-Specific Limitations

BMI Calculator

BMI is a population-level screening tool, not a direct measure of body fat or health status. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age-related changes, or individual metabolic variation. Use alongside other health measures and medical guidance.

Diabetes Risk Calculator (IDRS)

The Indian Diabetes Risk Score is a validated screening tool — not a diagnostic test. A high score indicates elevated risk warranting further testing, not a confirmed diabetes diagnosis. Diagnosis requires blood tests (fasting glucose, HbA1c) conducted by a healthcare provider.

PCOS Symptom Risk Assessment

This tool is a symptom awareness tool only. PCOS can only be diagnosed by a qualified gynaecologist using clinical history, hormone blood tests, and pelvic ultrasound. A high score does not confirm PCOS. A low score does not rule it out.

Period Tracker

Period predictions are estimates based on average cycle patterns. Actual cycle length varies with stress, illness, weight changes, hormonal conditions, and age. If your period is significantly late or irregular, consult a gynaecologist.

Ideal Weight, Calorie, and Water Intake Calculators

These tools produce population-average estimates. Individual needs vary significantly based on body composition, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle. Consult a registered dietitian or doctor for personalised targets.

4. Medical Standards and Sources

Calculators use Indian medical standards where applicable: ICMR BMI guidelines, Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS), Rotterdam PCOS criteria, Mifflin St Jeor calorie equation, and WHO/ICMR fluid intake guidelines. Full citations are available on each calculator page. We update content when guidelines change — contact us at contact@myhealthcalc.in if you identify an outdated reference.

5. Content Accuracy

We take care to ensure calculator logic and content are accurate but make no guarantee of completeness, accuracy, or fitness for any particular purpose. Health science evolves. We review content periodically but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy with all latest research.

6. Emergency Situations

If you or someone around you is experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately. In India, dial 112 (national emergency number) or go to the nearest hospital emergency department. Do not use this Site in emergency situations.
