Poshan Calculator

The Poshan Calculator is a lightweight tool for Anganwadi workers, health counselors, NGOs, and pediatric teams to accurately classify child nutritional status using WHO weight‑for‑length (WFL) standards. It supports gender-specific and age-group (0–2 years, 2–5 years) assessments with precise length increments (e.g., 45, 45.5, 46 cm) and clear, color-coded results for Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM), Normal, and Obese categories.

In addition to WFL classification, the app includes a BMI calculator and an age calculator (from date of birth), plus daily motivational quotes. Designed with an intuitive HTML/JS/CSS interface, Poshan Calculator enables instant on-screen classification and quick data entry. It’s ideal for field use and can be adapted for offline compatibility to support remote health workers, improving early detection and timely interventions for child malnutrition.
