And it is that the prevention of obesity and the control of weight and height of our children is something that worries all parents, and the percentile tables are not always easy to interpret. We tell you how Growin works and what other advantages it offers.
An app that grows with your child
Growin is an application designed so that families can control how our children grow, while we receive medical advice, growth predictions through scientific-mathematical algorithms and recommendations on healthy lifestyle habits and child nutrition designed by pediatric endocrines of the Miguel Servet Hospital in Zaragoza.
The percentiles of weight and height that Growin shows us are adapted to measurements from all regions and countries, and record both weight and height, as well as body mass index, head circumference and abdominal perimeter by means of graphs.
In addition, by conducting personalized surveys, the app will help us control the weight of our children, thus preventing childhood and youth obesity.The novelty of this application is that the Notifications received after each new measurement are customized depending on the characteristics of the child, its progression and growth and the birth data that we have registered, since children born with low weight and length have a growth, weight gain and development different from those born with weight and suitable length.
Growin also offers the possibility of share the data, graphs and reports obtained through our social networks, or send it by email. In this way, we can quickly share the information of our children with family and friends, and ask our pediatrician any questions that may arise.
