[GrowX] is an app dedicated to recording a child's growth journey. It supports data entry for multiple children and allows other family members to be invited to participate in managing together. After the child grows up, they can also view the growth data managed by their parents through authorized accounts, allowing them to revisit their developmental process. Milk Intake Record: Tracks daily, monthly, and yearly milk intake from birth, helping new parents monitor their infant’s appetite and adjust feeding schedules as needed. Height and Weight: Longitudinally records and tracks a child’s height, weight, and BMI, enabling early detection and prevention of premature or delayed development issues. Temperature Record: Monitors temperature changes during illness, logs times when fever-reducing medication is administered, and assists in tracking the progression of sickness. Additionally, it allows for the storage of medical test results and medication lists for easy reference during follow-up visits. Growth Record: Documents daily milestones in a child’s life, including feeding, sleeping, learning, and playing, capturing every small moment of growth. Baby Teeth Record: Tracks the emergence of baby teeth, their shedding, and the eruption of permanent teeth, providing detailed dental development data. Vision Record: Generates eye axis growth curves, stores examination reports, tracks outdoor activity, estimates refractive power, and provides real-time monitoring of vision health to help prevent myopia. Honors: Records and preserves the shining moments of a child’s academic life, digitizing paper certificates into permanent electronic versions, ensuring that every achievement is kept safe and accessible.
