The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has developed an API ( Application Programme Interface). This is a national , web-based tool that will allow those wishing to use online growth charts, including the developers of electronic patient records to build accurate, validated  growth charts , with associated calculations into their applications.

DSMIG is working with the RCPCH to include the UK Down Syndrome Growth Charts in this product .

The Digital Growth Charts will launch in early 2021, and we will provide updates  about the  Down syndrome charts as they become available.

In the mean time more general information about the RCPCH Digital Growth Chart for potential users and developers can be found using the links below.
