## Description

This Connector provides the clinical tools needed for precise anthropometric assessments in a healthcare setting. Instead of manually calculating metrics or searching through various medical tables, you can get standardized results directly through your agent. It handles the math for Body Mass Index, including the specific WHO classifications and ASMBS risk categories that matter for clinical documentation. You can also get estimates for healthy weight using the three most common clinical formulas, which is a huge help when creating personalized nutrition plans. It even handles the logic for bariatric surgery candidacy by checking against NIH criteria. By adding this to your workflow via the Vinkius catalog, you move away from manual calculations and toward a standardized way of assessing patient weight and health. It turns a multi-step process into a single request, letting you spend more time on patient care and less time on arithmetic.

## Tools

### calculate_ideal_body_weights
Estimates healthy weight using Devine, Hamwi, and Robinson clinical formulas. It helps create accurate weight goals for patients.

### compute_bmi_metrics
Calculates BMI and identifies WHO classifications and ASMBS risk categories. This provides a complete clinical picture of a patient's weight.

### evaluate_bariatric_eligibility
Determines if a patient meets NIH criteria for bariatric surgery. It checks BMI and comorbidities to confirm surgical candidacy.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the BMI metrics for a person weighing 95kg and 175cm tall.
```

**Response:** 
```
### Patient Assessment
- **BMI**: 31.0
- **WHO Classification**: Obesity Class I
- **ASMBS Risk Category**: Identified

This patient falls into the Obesity Class I category according to standard WHO guidelines.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the ideal body weight for a female who is 160cm tall?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Ideal Body Weight Estimates
Based on clinical formulas, the estimated weights are:
- **Devine**: 52.2kg
- **Hamwi**: 51.4kg
- **Robinson**: 50.8kg
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a patient with a BMI of 36 and hypertension eligible for bariatric surgery?
```

**Response:** 
```
### Surgical Eligibility
**Status**: Eligible

The patient meets the NIH criteria for bariatric surgery because they have a BMI ≥ 35 and existing comorbidities (hypertension).
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate BMI and WHO categories
Get a Body Mass Index score along with standard WHO obesity classifications.

### Estimate weights using multiple formulas
Retrieve ideal body weight estimates using Devine, Hamwi, and Robinson formulas.

### Assess bariatric surgery eligibility
Determine if a patient meets NIH criteria for surgery based on BMI and comorbidities.

### Identify metabolic risk
Retrieve ASMBS metabolic risk categories for clinical assessment.

### Standardize anthropometric data
Convert raw height and weight into standardized clinical metrics for records.

## Use Cases

### Surgical Screening
A surgeon asks if a patient with a BMI of 38 and hypertension qualifies for surgery; the agent confirms eligibility using evaluate_bariatric_eligibility.

### Nutrition Planning
A dietitian needs target weights for a 160cm female; the agent provides Devine, Hamwi, and Robinson estimates using calculate_ideal_body_weights.

### Routine Assessment
A clinic worker needs a quick BMI and risk category for a new patient; the agent provides WHO and ASMBS data via compute_bmi_metrics.

### Research Data
A researcher needs to pull BMI metrics for a large group of patients to categorize them by WHO standards automatically.

## Benefits

- Eliminate calculation errors by using standardized formulas like Devine and Robinson via calculate_ideal_body_weights.
- Get instant WHO classifications and ASMBS risk categories with compute_bmi_metrics instead of manual lookups.
- Streamline surgical screening by checking NIH criteria automatically through evaluate_bariatric_eligibility.
- Provide consistent weight goals for diverse patient demographics using multiple clinical formulas at once.
- Save time during patient intake by automating the conversion of height and weight into actionable metrics.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get standardized clinical metrics without manual math.

1. Provide the patient's height, weight, and relevant health details to your agent.
2. The agent calls the clinical tools to process the data against standard formulas.
3. You get a structured summary of BMI metrics, weight goals, and surgery eligibility.
