Clinical · Growth tracking

WHO and IAP growth charts, plotted automatically.

Height, weight, BMI, and head circumference, matched to the right standard by age and sex, and trended across every visit — not redrawn by hand from a paper card.

PediaNex growth charts automatically plot WHO percentiles for children under 5 and IAP percentiles for ages 5 to 18, based on the child's age and sex.

WHO standards apply automatically for children under 5, and IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) standards for ages 5 to 18. PediaNex picks the correct chart the moment you enter a birthdate and sex — no manual lookup, no separate paper chart book on the desk.

Every measurement plots instantly on screen against the right percentile curve, then renders again as a clinic-grade PDF you can print or send. Because every visit's vitals are already in the record, the chart trends the child's growth over time automatically, instead of asking a parent to remember last visit's numbers.

Before this, plotting a percentile meant flipping to the right page of a WHO or IAP reference booklet, finding the curve for the child's age and sex, and marking the point by eye. That works, but it's slow on a busy OPD day, and it's easy to reach for the wrong chart when a child crosses from the WHO to the IAP range around age five. PediaNex removes the lookup step: enter a birthdate and sex once, and every measurement from then on plots against the correct standard automatically.

BMI is calculated from height and weight rather than worked out by hand, and head circumference is charted the same way, which matters most for infants and toddlers where it's tracked at nearly every visit. Because the last several visits are always on screen together, a doctor can see whether a child is tracking along their usual curve or has started to drift, instead of comparing numbers from memory.

At a glance

What's tracked, on every visit.

Two standards, matched automatically

WHO for children under 5, IAP for ages 5 to 18 — PediaNex switches the moment a birthdate crosses the line, no manual lookup.

Four metrics per visit

Height, weight, BMI, and head circumference — all charted, not just recorded as a number in a table.

Plotted live, mid-visit

Each measurement lands on the correct percentile curve the moment it's entered — no flipping through a reference booklet.

Clinic-grade PDF export

Every chart renders on screen and again as a print-ready PDF, so a copy can leave the room with the family.

Trend, not a single point

The last several visits sit on screen together, so a doctor sees whether a child is tracking their curve or has started to drift.

BMI calculated, not hand-worked

Height and weight are enough — PediaNex does the BMI math and plots it on its own curve automatically.

FAQ
