# KétaPK - Pharmacokinetic Simulation for Anesthesia & Intensive Care

**KétaPK** is a modern, cross-platform pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling application for **Esketamine** and **Racemic Ketamine**. It allows anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians, and clinical researchers to simulate, visualize, and predict plasma drug concentrations ($C_p$) over a 300-minute timeline using multi-exponential models.

## 1. Overview & Purpose

* **Original Creator:** Dr. Georges Mion (Anesthesiologist-Intensivist)
* **Purpose:** To provide clinical specialists with an instantaneous, offline, and reliable decision-support and simulation tool for IV bolus doses and continuous infusions.
* **Core PK Models Integrated:**
* **Domino et al. (1982)** — Three-compartment model ($2.0\text{ mg/kg}$ reference)
* **Clements et al. (1981)** — Two-compartment model ($0.25\text{ mg/kg}$ reference)
* **Kamp et al. (2020)** — Meta-analytic multi-compartment model ($0.5\text{ mg/kg}$ reference)

## 2. Project Origin & AI Generation Transparency

### The Legacy Application

The initial version of **KétaPK** was hand-crafted as a Microsoft Excel workbook (`.xlsm`) using complex VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros, custom chart event listeners, and dynamic range colorizations.

### Modernization via AI Collaboration

To make the tool responsive, cross-platform, and independent of Microsoft Office, the application was re-engineered into a modern web and desktop software stack.

* **AI Collaboration Model:** Google Gemini
* **AI Model Version:** Gemini 3.6 Thinking
* **Generation Mode:** Context-aware multi-turn prompt engineering & source-code decompilation
* **Generation Parameters:** Standard System Instructions, Default Temperature (~0.7), Strict Module Separation (Decoupled Math Engine / Responsive UI / i18n Dictionary)

## 3. Legacy Excel Implementation

The original spreadsheet relied on embedded OLE streams, sheet-level event macros (`Worksheet_SelectionChange`), and manual range formulas to calculate 61 time points (0 to 300 minutes in 5-minute increments).

## 4. Running with Docker

You can run **KétaPK** in an isolated container using Docker or Docker Compose.

### Option A: Using Docker CLI

```bash
# Build the Docker image using the non-root secure Dockerfile
docker build -t ketapk-web .
```

```bash
# Run the container mapping port 3000 on your host machine
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name ketapk-app ketapk-web
```

```bash
# Access the application in your browser at http://localhost:3000
```

### Option B: Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

```bash
# Build and start the containerized application in detached mode
docker compose up -d --build
```

```bash
# Stop and remove the running container environment
docker compose down
```

## 5. Compiling Desktop Apps with Tauri (Windows, macOS, Linux)

**KétaPK** uses **Tauri v2** to generate ultra-lightweight ($\sim 12\text{ MB}$), native desktop executables (`.exe`, `.dmg`, `.AppImage`) that operate 100% offline without requiring Node.js or Docker on the target medical machine.

### Prerequisites

* **Node.js** (v20 or higher)
* **Rust & Cargo** (installed via [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/))
* *Windows:* C++ Build Tools for Visual Studio
* *macOS:* Xcode Command Line Tools (`xcode-select --install`)

### Step-by-Step Build Process

```bash
# 1. Install project dependencies
npm install
```

```bash
# 2. Compile the static Tailwind CSS bundle
npm run build:css
```

```bash
# 3. Launch the application in desktop development mode (with Hot Reload)
npx tauri dev
```

```bash
# 4. Compile the production installer for your current Operating System
npx tauri build
```
