The application that simplifies rickets assessment

Raquitool, the application that helps clinical professionals prevent errors in rickets assessment

Kyowa Kirin's contribution to rickets assessment

The diagnosis and treatment of rickets require collaboration among pediatricians, endocrinologists, and pediatric nephrologists, who work together to address the complexities of this disease. Among the companies contributing to this field is Kyowa Kirin, a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company specializing in therapies for rare diseases.

In July 2022, Kyowa Kirin, in collaboration with Navandu—an innovative company in digital products and services for the healthcare sector, now part of SNGULAR—launched the Raquitool project. This application is designed to facilitate the accurate and early assessment of rickets, helping specialists evaluate patients suspected of having this disease, which often presents significant diagnostic challenges

How does Raquitool contribute to the optimization of clinical practice?

Automation of complex calculations

Raquitool automatiza cálculos que, de otro modo, requerirían la intervención manual del médico, lo que reduce el tiempo de análisis y minimiza el margen de error humano. En lugar de utilizar nomogramas o realizar cálculos manuales para interpretar los niveles de fósforo en sangre o en orina, la aplicación presenta los resultados de manera rápida y directa, permitiendo al médico identificar de inmediato cualquier alteración.

Assessment of abnormalities in phosphorus management

One of Raquitool's main strengths is its ability to detect patterns of abnormal phosphorus levels, a common feature in certain types of rickets. This functionality helps the doctor determine whether the observed abnormalities are the result of poor renal phosphorus management, which could indicate a specific form of rickets, such as hypophosphatemic rickets.

Support in the decision for confirmatory genetic studies

For some patients, doctors may consider additional genetic studies in the diagnosis of rickets. Raquitool provides information based on result patterns that may indicate the potential usefulness of such tests, offering relevant data to support the approach to confirmatory genetic testing for specific types of rickets.

Intuitive application and complementary training resource

Designed with a focus on usability, Raquitool allows healthcare professionals to easily access key information about the patient's biochemical parameters in comparison to normal values. Additionally, it includes specific tools, such as a calculator for renal phosphorus management. The application also provides a radiological assessment of rickets using the RSS (Rickets Severity Score) scale and offers bibliographic references that support the ongoing development of medical knowledge in this area.

The use of Raquitool highlights its relevance as a diagnostic support tool

Since its launch, Raquitool has proven to be an effective tool in clinical practice, accumulating over 1,800 accesses by specialists in pediatric nephrology and endocrinology. Among its most used features are the analysis of normal range values for biochemical variables and phosphorus renal management calculations, both essential for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, the increase in report generation reflects a high level of interaction and trust in the tool, which supports clinical judgment by documenting detailed results.
