BiliCalc is a neonatal bilirubin calculator and clinical reference for healthcare professionals caring for newborn infants born at 35 or more weeks of gestation. Calculations are based on the 2022 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in newborn infants 35 or more weeks of gestation. Enter the infant's postnatal age, gestational age at birth, bilirubin value, measurement type, applicable neurotoxicity risk factors, and phototherapy status to view: • Patient-specific phototherapy, escalation-of-care, and exchange-transfusion thresholds • A graph displaying the bilirubin value and applicable treatment thresholds • Guideline-based treatment recommendations • Post-discharge follow-up guidance, when applicable No internet connection is required for calculations. BiliCalc performs calculations locally on the device and can be used without Wi-Fi or cellular data. BiliCalc is designed for quick clinical reference and does not measure bilirubin. Bilirubin values and other clinical information must be obtained independently and entered by the healthcare professional. Clinical references and links to source material are available within the app. BiliCalc is intended to support, not replace, professional clinical judgment. It is independently developed and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The app itself is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, including its interface, results, charts and clinical guidance. BiliCalc automatically uses your preferred supported device language. You can also choose a language in Info. Regional language variants are recognized, and number formatting follows your device region.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Congreso COISUP at Free against BiliCalc's $1.99. Congreso COISUP also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). BiliCalc's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
