Transforming child health with Harlow Solutions’ digital personal child health record
Harlow have developed a digital personal child health record to complement the paper Personal Child Health Records (PCHR).
Harlow has supplied the Personal Child Health Record (PCHR) for over 30 years. A multi-disciplinary working group, hosted by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, oversees the content and development of the national standard PCHR, with Harlow providing expert advice and guidance, drawing on decades of experience in child health record development.
The Personal Child Health Record (PCHR), also known as the ‘Red Book,’ is given to parents or carers at a child’s birth to record growth, immunisations, developmental milestones, and results of screening tests. Harlow manufactures and supplies the national standard PCHR, with the option to personalise pages based on geographical location.
Using this experience of over 30 years developing products to support the NHS, Harlow developed a Digital Personal Child Health Record. Our longstanding work in supplying the PCHR, growth charts, and the digital iGROW child growth software used widely at 30+ NHS trusts, laid the foundation to develop a digital format of the PCHR.
Working with expert paediatricians and parents, we applied a clinically informed approach to develop a digital solution that preserves the familiar features of the printed PCHR, while evolving to meet the changing needs of healthcare professionals and families.
Using experience of over 30 years developing products to support the NHS, Harlow developed a Digital Redbook. Our work over the years as members of the appointed expert working group, alongside the Department of Health (DH) and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), on the PCHR, growth charts and digital iGROW child growth software, formed the platform to go one step further in the development of the Digital Redbook.
Working with expert paediatricians, we applied a clinical approach and experience developing digital child health products to design the Digital Redbook.
