"People ask me what my predictions are for publishing and how digital is changing things and I tell them my only real prediction is that is it's all changing," author Neil Gaiman said in his keynote at this year's London Book Fair.

Last year digital was still on the periphery, but 12 months on print and digital are seamlessly integrated, complementary reading tools.

We have developed a Lung Function Calculator Wheel to help clinicians diagnose, assess and monitor respiratory disease in children and adults. The calculator displays average peak flow rates by age, height and gender that can be compared with patients' spirometry readings in the clinic. It is particularly useful for demonstrating the improvement in their airway disease (e.g. asthma or COPD) with treatment and/or the benefits of quitting smoking.

Introducing the Body-Mass Index (BMI) Calculator Wheel
We have developed a simple and easy-to-use BMI Calculator Wheel to communicate the concept of risk, support weight maintenance and see the benefits of healthy lifestyle changes.

NHS Primary Care Trusts are using these BMI Calculator Wheels in their Spring 2012 campaigns as both a screening/counselling aid for clinicians to engage people in looking after their health and a patient-friendly aid to long-term weight control.

Want your own branded BMI Calculator Wheel?
We can do it for you. The calculator wheels can be customized to include a sponsorship message and/or logo of your choice and we also produce translated versions (e.g. Bulgarian, Dutch, Estonian, French, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and many more). There is no better time to help people succeed with their healthy lifestyle goals, as January brings New Year's resolutions to be healthier and happier.
