Growth Online. A web based growth monitoring service from Harlow Printing

Harlow Printing are trialling and will soon launch a web-based service for growth monitoring. The software can be used on a single user/multi-user system or can be integrated with existing health systems. Among other things it will:

  • Automatically calculate BMI
  • Plot serial measures for individual children on national 9 centile charts or on UK Down syndrome or other specialist charts.
  • Review individual BMI patterns and alert users of unexpected shifts

John Short from Harlow Printing will present information about this initiative at the November 2004 DSMIG meeting.
