countries by using either WHO or local growthdata and immunization programmes
• Service can be connected to national or localhealth record systems
• It can be used as a platform for otherservices, such as remote medical consultationor providing education
• New growth parameters can be added in theapplication – enabling more precise diagnosisof factors leading to growth issues
