A school-age child's heart and lungs, built from measured pediatric anatomy: airways branching from the carina into alveolar clusters that fill with each breath, four cardiac chambers in their true depth order, and both lungs outlined with the cardiac notch where the heart rests against the left one. It breathes about nineteen times a minute and beats about eighty-one, the way a well child at rest does, and the heart rate rises on inspiration as it does in a real one.

Why we are building this

Every child in critical care benefits from the same knowledge and tools, no matter where their PICU is.

TowardPCC builds the digital backbone of pediatric critical care: free calculators for every clinician, knowledge and data systems for every unit, and research support for every investigator. Starting in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, built for the world.

  • The calculators run entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted or stored.
  • Our servers are located in Saudi Arabia.
  • We collect the minimum needed to run the service, and never patient data.

Four pillars

What we are building

We say plainly what is live, what is piloting, and what is planned.

Why this exists

We don't have testimonials. We have the literature.

Every claim we make about the problem is something published that you can check.

  • Clinicians budget roughly two to three minutes to answer a clinical question, and abandon the search beyond it.
    Del Fiol et al. JAMA Intern Med, 2014 (systematic review of 72 studies)
  • Clinicians raise about one question for every two patients, but pursue only around half of them.
    Del Fiol et al. 2014 · Kell et al. JAMIA, 2024
  • 59% of 292 surveyed clinicians had received no formal training in searching the literature.
    Brassil et al. J Med Libr Assoc, 2017
  • Clinicians value a local “our practice” stance that breaks the tie between conflicting guidelines.
    Baxter et al. Appl Clin Inform, 2022
  • A locally-curated guideline app reached 91 of 152 NHS acute trusts: trust followed local curation.
    MicroGuide, reported deployment figures
