CHIP Mobile vs GrowthPlot

OKAKI’s CHIP Mobile application is an add-on to the full version of OKAKI’s Community Health and Immunization Program (CHIP) suite of products. CHIP is a secure SaaS based system and is available to authorized users who have a current subscription to CHIP. It was designed with a simple layout to allow quick, easy, and secure immunization record entry in community settings such as schools, mass immunization clinics, or the homes of vulnerable individuals who cannot be transported to immunization clinics. The application requests permission to use the camera so the application can scan barcodes for patient searches as well as vaccine vials for GTIN codes, lot numbers and expiry dates. Use of the camera is optional as the application is fully functional except for barcode scanning. This application does not access any user data on the phone (contacts, photos, mail etc.) nor does it store any information on the mobile device. It only requires a connection to the internet (Wi-Fi or cellular data).

The “GrowthPlot” app plots selected growth parameters (length/height, weight, body-mass index, weight-for-length and head circumference) for typically growing children (using either the “WHO Growth Charts for Canada, March 2014 revision” or the “2000 CDC Growth Charts” reference. You can also plot selected growth parameters (length/height, weight, weight-for-length/height, body-mass index and head circumference) for children with a number of syndromes (Turner, Down, Noonan, Prader–Willi, Russell–Silver and Klinefelter) using the QuickChart API, which results in a link which allows you to save or share the chart image. Citations are provided for each reference range used for these calculations.
