Digital growth charts

RCPCH has developed digital growth charts, which accurately calculate centiles and standard deviation scores for a child’s height, weight, head circumference and BMI and display the result on a familiar growth chart.

The growth chart code is designed to be integrated into an electronic patient record (an EPR) and is already in use across many NHS Trusts in England, Scotland and Wales. It is available on a subscription basis (with a free tier for testing). You can contact us to learn more.
