When or how often do I need to enter the growth information like height and weight in the mobile app?
As a child’s growth pattern varies quite a lot over the various age-groups, there does not seem to be standardised recommendations for frequency for measurements. Generally, the recommendations seem to be that the growth should be measured as part of the scheduled well-baby and well-child health visits. Please consult your doctors/nurses.
As for school-age children, the recommendation is to measure 6-monthly or yearly.
Will the system remind me on when and what to do? How often will I be reminded?
Yes, the system will alert you about relevant milestones for your child based on his/her age, as well as growth related information and also recommended health information articles via push notification on your mobile device. We encourage you to subscribe to the HealthHub push notification services to be kept updated on this.

What does the percentile on the growth charts mean?
The percentile for each measurement item indicates how your child’s measurement compares with others in the same age-group for that measurement item. For example, if the height percentile for your child’s measurement is shown as 75% - this indicates that your child is as tall as or taller than 75% of children in the same age-group, whereas if the height percentile is shown as 10% - this indicates that your child is as tall as or taller than only 10% of children in the same age-group. The same applies for the percentiles for the weight, BMI or head circumference.
