Zcalc

GOAL Global

About this app

Zcalc is an offline tool for frontline workers to instantly calculate and classify malnourishment and wasting in children under 5 years old, based on WHO growth standards.

The app calculates Weight-for-Age (WFA), Weight-for-Height (WFH) and Weight-for-Length (WFL) z-scores using a child's age, sex, weight, and height or length.

By automating z-score calculations without the need for complex WHO growth charts and lookup tables, this app reduces the risk of misclassification and helps frontline workers make faster, more accurate assessments.

Key features:
- offline
- no data stored on device or in the cloud
- no login or registration required
- designed for one-handed use

Zcalc has been developed by GOAL Global - an international humanitarian organisation, working with highly vulnerable communities worldwide to help them respond to and recover from humanitarian crises.
