The leading paediatric growth chart plotting software for height, weight and BMI utilised in the UK today.
Harlow are the designers and developers of Growth Charts for children in the UK. We have used our wealth of knowledge in supporting children’s health to develop the iGROW software which can be used standalone or seamlessly integrated with all EPR systems, such as Mediviewer, Lorenzo, EMIS, Cerner and Trakcare, eliminating the need to double enter data.

iGROW is the leading paediatric Growth Chart plotting software for Height, Weight and BMI, utilised in the UK today. To date, 30+ UK NHS Hospitals have chosen iGROW as their preferred digital solution, with many more at various stages of the implementation process.

Using the latest UK National Standard Growth Charts, including the UK Down Syndrome Charts, UK Turner Syndrome Charts, UK Sitting Height Charts and the UK Blood Pressure Charts, you are able to plot the data and view the correct chart along with any and all interventions made to the child’s health record.

iGrow software has been designed to provide a system for monitoring growth including height, weight, head circumference and BMI. The system will work both anonymously or with individual patient details.

The data is stored in a standard SQL database and is therefore readily available for analysis using standard report writing tools or export as a csv file.

The data recorded can be as simple or as complex as you require, obviously the more data recorded the more in depth the analysis that can be performed. The following data can be recorded in the system however, none of the data fields are mandatory.

iGROW integrates with child health systems for seamless growth chart plotting

The system supports growth chart monitoring, data import/export, and Excel analysis

Electronic growth charts ensure accurate plotting with an unalterable audit trail

Our digital child growth chart system, iGROW, is a fully paperless early child growth chart plotting system which follows the whole course of a child’s growth covering height, weight and head circumference. iGROW tracks child growth with UK charts, auditable data, and precise measurements up to 20 years old.

Z-score Charts are also available, at an additional cost, for specialist growth clinics (Endocrinology). Bone age measurement is a function we offer free of charge.

Integration with EPR systems

iGROW uses API technology enabling the application to communicate with existing software. The concept is that the application will work as a ‘plug in’ to your existing child health system, passing previously recorded information to iGROW to facilitate plotting and growth chart display. This functionality eliminates the need to enter patient details twice, as the essential information to enable plotting of the growth charts is simply passed through the API and a plotted chart returned for review. We have integrated with most of the leading EPR systems in use in the UK for Hospitals and Community services.

Network access

The network system provides the full functionality needed to plot and monitor child growth. Access for all Active Directory (AD) authorised users enables the growth chart to be reviewed instantly, potentially reducing incorrect referrals. Data may be imported or exported; if you have existing records in a suitable format they can be imported into iGROW eliminating the need to re-input existing data. The system also includes export functionality enabling further analysis in external packages such as Microsoft® Excel®.

Plotting and auditing

One of the benefits of electronic growth charts is the reduction of incorrect plotting due to human error. Whatever measure is input you can be sure it will be plotted correctly. If measures are input incorrectly then these may be deleted and re-input. The audit trail however records every measure and every update and may not be altered or deleted.

Monitor patient data over 20 years

iGROW gives you the ability to plot height/weight and calculate the BMI for each newborn or child from the pre-term stage until they are 20 years old. Using the latest UK National Standard Growth Charts, including the UK Down Syndrome Charts, UK Turner Syndrome Charts, Blood Pressure Charts, and the new UK Sitting Height Charts, you are able to plot the data and view the correct chart along with any and all interventions made to the child’s health record. All data input and/or altered is fully auditable utilising our back office functions. Through the use of assigned individual licences, information entered is then tracked back to the individual user. iGROW is the only system in the UK which utilises the UK data behind the chart to calculate accurate measurements.
