Growth Tracker: an easy way to monitor kids’ development

Growth Tracker

Growth Tracker is an application that helps measure the length of children, allowing parents and clinicians to easily monitor growth overtime. This application tracks key indicators such as height and weight, allowing parents to easily access these essential data without having to systematically consult a healthcare professional.
 

This easy-to-use tool is part of Danone Research & Innovation digital offering aimed at making monitoring children's growth and development accessible to everyone, everywhere in the world

Why growth tracker was developed

Obesity and Undernutrition is now a critical concern globally: 149 million children under 5 stunted (too short for their age) and 45 million children wasted (too thin for their height). Malnutrition in any form can weaken immune systems, impair brain development, and increase the risk of chronic diseases later in life. The key to addressing these challenges is early identification—because we can’t fix what we don’t measure. 

Currently measuring length of babies overtime and frequently is a burden, need for doctor appointment and need for length board + 2 nurses for a gold standard measurement at the clinic - our tool is here to help both parents and clinician which is why the bigger children hospital of Singapore (KKH) developed the Growth tracker with us. 

How will Growth Tracker evolve in the near future?

Our experts are constantly working to improve Growth Tracker. Future updates will include even more features, such as expanded health metrics and additional ways to integrate with other digital tools. The app will also be available in more regions, particularly in developing countries where it can have a significant impact.

Through collaborations with health professionals and institutions , Growth Tracker will continue to evolve and offer better support to families. Our goal is to integrate the app into a broader health ecosystem, giving families more tools to support the health and development of their children.

Growth Tracker is thus a simple but powerful tool that helps families monitor their child's growth with confidence and ensure that they receive the best possible care.
