What has changed on the GMR Toolkit, newest first. Each entry names the tools it affects and their scoring version.

12 Oct 2026 Guides, research and how to cite

"Copy for the chart" on every result puts one line about the result on your clipboard, to paste into a chart.
"New assessment" replaces "Start over". It clears the answers to every tool in this browser tab.
A new Guides section for clinicians, with two guides: "'Frail' means different things on different tools" and "Frailty in heart disease" (cardiology review pending).
A new Research page, with plain-language summaries of published papers from our group.
Research page: the papers behind our tools come first, and our own research is on a second tab.
This changelog.
Each tool page has a "How to cite" section, with the papers to cite and, for the live tools, a citation for the tool itself that you can copy as text or BibTeX.
Scoring is unchanged.

Each category now shows its pictures in one Best → Worst row, like the paper form.
A "View larger" button opens the category in a larger window, where you can also choose.
Scoring is unchanged.

A test version of the Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale, listed under Beta tools.
It uses placeholder pictures, not the official artwork, so it is not for clinical use.
You choose who is completing it: yourself, someone else, or a health professional.
It gives a score out of 43 and a frailty index. No score is given when 4 or more categories are unanswered.

The GMR Toolkit moves from the old R Shiny apps to a new website.
It has the Clinical Frailty Scale Classification Tool (full and short versions) and the Fit-to-Frail Index Calculator.
Scoring matches the original apps exactly.
Old /app1/, /app2/ and /app3/ links go to the new pages.
New: layouts for phones and tablets, printable results, downloading results (JSON or CSV) and opening a saved result.
Fit-to-Frail now shows how your frailty index compares with people of your age and sex.
