  • All data input and/or altered is fully auditable utilising the back office functions. Through the use of assigned individual licences, information entered is then tracked back to the individual user.
  • 10 free fields where the data is defined by the user. For example if the user wishes to analyse the results based on school attended then this information could be recorded in one of the free fields.
  • Individual growth patterns can be recorded and viewed on standard charts.
  • Data sharing across disciplines, (growth charts can be accessed by authorised users) so social services, health visitors, paediatricians etc all have instance access.
  • Charts and notes can be freely emailed within the authorised user group (no external email avoiding possible accidental emailing of personal data to unauthorised personnel).
  • Designed with a standard API which will enable our system to work as a ‘plug-in’ to any existing system facilitating data sharing and seamless integration.
  • The system will also work as a standalone product.
  • The system will also work as a standalone product. iGrow is now installed in over 30+ NHS Trusts throughout the UK, with the majority being linked to the Hospital/Trust’s EPR of choice, using a bespoke API. It is now also hosted in a secure Cloud environment inside HSCN to allow other customers to utilise its versatility
  • iGrow is the only system in the UK which utilises the UK data behind the charts to calculate the measurement, resulting in a far more accurate plot than simply using an X-Y axis and an image overlay.

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.

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®.

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.

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.
