Vaccination Record

Parents of young children usually keep a paper record of their children's vaccinations, but there are a couple of problems with that. For one thing keeping the paper record updated is a bit of a chore, but even if that has been done carefully, one cannot take the paper record of every child everywhere. iPhone and iPod Touch are devices that are uniquely suited for this task. Not only is the record immediately available when needed, it is also next to your fingertips when you want to update the information, like in the pediatrician's office. There you can ask the doctor or the nurse precisely which dose of which vaccine(s) was given, and update the record with confidence. Heck the doctor's staff may even volunteer to do this for you, after all, it is a lot more fun working with the iPhone than scribbling some dates on a dog-eared paper record.

The schedules in the App are based on the CDC's current recomendations and include Hepatitis B, Rota, DTap, Hib, IPV, PCV, MMR, Chicken Pox, Td, HPV and Flu shot vaccines. But if there are other vaccines being prescribed in your country, you can easily add those to the schedule.

Growth Record

There is more than a sentimental value in keeping a record of your child's height and weight reading at periodic intervals. The App will automatically calculate a BMI (Body Mass Index) for each pair of height and weight entries made on the same date. The App also provides a percentile value the BMI based on the World Health Organization's published data. This can be quite useful in following your child's growth pattern.

In addition to the height and weight, you can also keep track of the family member's temperature in case of a febrile illness. This information may be of value for the doctor on your next conversation with her.

App also allows you to keep a record of blood sugar levels if that becomes necessary.

Record of Allergies

Quick, can you think of the drugs that your life partner or your sibling or your parent is allergic to? It is amazing how many people are clueless about their family member's allergies when they bring him or her to the emergency room in an unconscious state. Often the answer the ER doctor gets is, "I think she is allergic to something but I am not sure if it is penicillin or something else". A vague answer like that can sometimes keep a life saving drug from being administered to a patient who needs it, or even worse, have a drug administered to which the patient is actually allergic, leading to all kinds of problems.

Now you can use your iPhone or iPod Touch to store each family member's  allergies along with the symptoms caused.
