AI Agents Overview

Nuva provides six specialized AI agents organized into Medical Info and Calculation groups.

Each agent in Nuva is focused on a specific medical domain. In the sidebar, agents are organized into two groups: Medical Info (the main pharmacist AI) and Calculation (drug dosage calculators). Additional specialized agents for skincare and lab results are available in the mobile app.

All AI agents provide informational responses only. Nuva is not a medical device and cannot replace clinical judgment. All drug dosages, medical information, and recommendations must be verified by a licensed healthcare professional before clinical use. Never rely solely on AI for patient care decisions.

Nuva — Main Agent

Professional pharmacist AI assistant

Purpose

The main Nuva agent acts as a professional pharmacist AI. It provides detailed, evidence-based information about diseases, drugs, dosages, interactions, contraindications, side effects, and medical procedures.

What It Does

  • - Explains conditions with pathophysiology, symptoms, and progression
  • - Provides evidence-based treatment options and drug information
  • - Lists drug details: generic/brand names, indications, dosages, contraindications, interactions
  • - Covers pregnancy & breastfeeding safety for medications
  • - Suggests follow-up checks and monitoring when needed
  • - Fact-checks all information against verified medical sources

Limitations

  • - Cannot replace a licensed pharmacist or physician
  • - May occasionally produce inaccurate information — always verify clinically
  • - Cannot access real-time data, patient records, or prescriptions
  • - Not suitable as the sole basis for patient care decisions

Example Prompts

“What are the side effects of metformin?”

“I have symptoms of headache and fatigue — what could it be?”

“Is amoxicillin safe during pregnancy?”

Drug Calculator

Clinical dosage calculation agent

Purpose

A specialized agent for accurate, evidence-based medication dose calculations using clinical pharmacokinetics. It collects patient parameters before calculating.

What It Does

  • - Collects required patient data: age, weight, height, renal function
  • - Performs dose calculations using mg/kg, mg/m², or CrCl-based methods
  • - Shows step-by-step calculation formulas with intermediate values
  • - Converts results to practical units (tablets, mL)
  • - Flags toxic dose ranges with safety warnings
  • - Adjusts for renal/hepatic impairment, obesity, and special populations

Limitations

  • - Will not calculate without all required patient parameters
  • - Must be verified by a licensed pharmacist or physician before use
  • - Does not account for all possible drug interactions

Example Prompts

“Calculate vancomycin dose for a 70kg patient with CrCl 45”

“What is the dose of ciprofloxacin for a 80kg adult?”

Pediatric Drug Calculator

Dosing for infants, children, and adolescents

Purpose

Specialized for pediatric patients. Calculates weight- and age-adjusted doses using mg/kg/dose, mg/kg/day, and BSA-based methods according to pediatric pharmacology standards.

What It Does

  • - Collects age (months/years), weight (kg), and height (cm)
  • - Calculates doses with step-by-step formulas
  • - Converts to practical forms (mL syrup, tablets, droppers)
  • - Compares with maximum daily dose and therapeutic ranges
  • - Flags narrow therapeutic index drugs with red warnings

Limitations

  • - Will not calculate without weight and age
  • - Must be verified by a licensed pediatric pharmacist or physician
  • - For neonates (0–28 days), use the Neonatal Calculator instead

Example Prompts

“Amoxicillin dose for a 3-year-old, 15kg child”

“Calculate ibuprofen suspension dose for 8-year-old, 25kg”

Neonatal Drug Calculator

Specialized dosing for newborns (0–28 days)

Purpose

Focused on newborns aged 0–28 days, including preterm (<34 weeks), late preterm (34–37 weeks), and term (37 weeks) neonates. Uses gestational and postnatal age for accurate dosing.

What It Does

  • - Collects gestational age (weeks), postnatal age (days), and weight (kg)
  • - Applies neonatal pharmacokinetic formulas
  • - Calculates IV drug dilution volumes and infusion times
  • - Flags toxic thresholds with immediate red warnings
  • - Recommends therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) when needed
  • - Reminds to recalculate doses weekly as the baby grows

Limitations

  • - Will not proceed without gestational age and weight
  • - Must be verified by a licensed neonatologist or neonatal pharmacist
  • - Extra caution required for neonates under 1 kg

Example Prompts

“Gentamicin dose for a 32-week preterm, 1.5kg, day 3”

“Caffeine citrate loading dose for a 34-week neonate, 2.1kg”

Skin Care Agent

Dermatology & skincare specialist

Purpose

An advanced skincare specialist with expertise in clinical dermatology, cosmetic science, and skin pharmacology. It provides detailed, structured advice for skin-related concerns.

What It Does

  • - Analyzes skin concerns and asks targeted follow-up questions
  • - Provides tailored morning and night routines
  • - Explains active ingredients and their mechanisms of action
  • - References concentration ranges, timelines, and side effects
  • - Differentiates cosmetic-grade vs prescription-grade treatments
  • - Flags contraindications (e.g., retinoids during pregnancy)

Limitations

  • - Cannot diagnose skin conditions
  • - Not a replacement for a dermatologist
  • - Does not recommend unverified or pseudoscientific treatments

Example Prompts

“What does niacinamide do for skin?”

“Suggest a routine for oily, acne-prone skin”

“Can I use retinol and vitamin C together?”

Lab Results Agent

Lab interpretation & diagnostic assistant

Purpose

Specialized in interpreting laboratory results, diagnostic reports, and medical imaging summaries. It breaks down blood tests (CBC, BMP, CMP, LFTs, lipid panels, thyroid panels, HbA1c, coagulation studies, tumor markers, urinalysis, and more).

What It Does

  • - Breaks down each lab value: result, reference range, normal/abnormal
  • - Explains what abnormal values may indicate physiologically
  • - Correlates multiple values to form a clinical picture
  • - Provides differential diagnoses ranked by likelihood
  • - Recommends follow-up tests and specialist referrals

Limitations

  • - Cannot provide confirmed medical diagnoses
  • - Uses phrases like “may suggest” and “consistent with”
  • - Asks for missing context (age, sex, symptoms, medications)
  • - Always recommends professional medical consultation

Example Prompts

“My CBC shows WBC 12.5, Hgb 10.2, PLT 180 — what does this mean?”

“Explain elevated ALT and AST with normal bilirubin”

“TSH is 8.5 mIU/L — is my thyroid normal?”
