Peptides Dosage Calculator

Project Title

Project Description

Peptides Calculator web application required incorporating various new features and improvements based on the client’s detailed requirements. The project focused on enhancing user experience, adding new functionalities, and ensuring precise calculations for peptide dosing.

Key Responsibilities

Implemented User signup with Email & Phone OTP Verification.
Allowed users for selecting between units, ensuring accurate unit conversions.
Added new volume options for U-100, U-40 & ‘Other’ syringe types.
Developed a custom input method for the ‘Other’ syringe type, allowing users to input syringe ticks and volume, and calculating tick marks for the output.
Redesigned the output format to provide clear instructions on drawing the correct dose with a detailed concentration and dose count.
Created a unit converter screen for converting between milliliters (ml), milligrams (mg), microliters (uL), and micrograms (mcg) with predefined formulas.
Implemented the save calculation feature allowing users to save their calculations alongside the title & a note for user references.
Developed an “Instructions” screen to guide users on how to use the calculator effectively.
Enabled input of up to three peptide vial quantities simultaneously, with automatic calculations for each.
Thoroughly tested all new features, ensuring accuracy and reliability through a comprehensive set of test cases.
