Target35 is a professional clinical tool for general surgeons to quickly determine whether a patient meets the BMI threshold for elective surgery — and exactly how much weight they need to lose if not.
Many elective procedures including inguinal hernia repair, hiatal hernia repair, and cholecystectomy require patients to reach a BMI of 35 or below to minimize perioperative risk. Target35 calculates this in seconds.
Built after observing surgeons manually performing this calculation multiple times per clinic day, this tool was designed to fit seamlessly into an existing workflow.
