Why did you create this app?
I got tired of jumping between different online calculators just to interpret study results, so I built the EBM Calculator to streamline the process and make evidence appraisal simpler for all of us.
The app has come a long way since I first started developing it, but the goal remains the same: to provide a purposefully simple tool that helps you assess the strength of an association (for therapies or exposures), evaluate diagnostic test performance, and calculate post-test probability.
