Mom's companion to track kids' health - right on her Smartphone!

Mom's companion to track kids' health - right on her Smartphone!

HPB's HealthHub app empowers moms to track their and their kids' health right from the smartphone. Everything from Immunisation and Dental Health records to Growth Charts and Milestones available in one place. Convenient and easy to use, thanks to HealthHub app for making healthcare of the family so simple!

Mom: Eeshaa, I want to have a look at the report from your eye check up that was done at school. I remember that it had a remark that we should get a proper test done by an optometrist. Also, what exactly did the school dentist say when you visited her last week?

Eeshaa: Mom, I gave you the note they wrote, right?

Mom: Is it, Eeshaa? Oh, where did I keep it? Or did you forget to give me in the first place?

The search starts to find that one piece of paper. After the cupboards and school bags are turned upside down, the realisation dawns; Oh! It looks like it is lost.

Sounds familiar? This has happened in our home at least 2-3 times. Between carelessness on our part or forgetfulness due to a mind-boggling daily routine, I sometimes fail to keep the hard copies of documents.

When it comes to the health records of my family though, we must make sure to maintain them properly and in an organised manner. But how? Notes and papers are pretty difficult to organise and that consumes lots of time which is anyways so scarce!

I literally jumped out of my seat when I heard about this fabulous app called HealthHub from none other than Health Promotion Board.

So, did I finally find that missing paper with the information from my daughter's eye check up that was done at school? Read on.

First, I would like to thank HPB on behalf of so many parents like me who are always on the go shouldering multitudes of responsibilities and often tend to ignore health. I was HPB's Health Ambassador two or three years ago and attended a few of their initiatives in the past, so I know how passionate these people are and how they strive for the good health of Singapore! The HealthHub app is a great way to remind ourselves that health comes first - your own health and your family's.

I was very keen to use this app and hence immediately downloaded it. My first impression - wow, it installs so quickly.

Easy to use? Yes yes, very easy. Even people who are not too much into technology can comfortably navigate it. The interface of the app is straightforward and the color scheme is pleasing to the eye so you are sure to explore it in-depth after installation.

After downloading the app, please key in your SingPass and you are in!

Child Immunisation

My first child was born in India and she completed some of her vaccines there before we moved to Singapore. I found a detailed summary of her immunisation records under the Child Immunisation Section. It also reminded me that some records need to be updated.

As a mom, I would not have known about these pending vaccines because generally after kids become a bit older, we tend to take it a bit easy on immunisation - my personal experience! Now, I am going to pursue this and ensure that she has completed all the necessary vaccines on schedule. Thanks for the alert, HealthHub!

Milestones

This section is going to be more useful for my younger child who's five years old.

Now I exactly know what to expect as far as my son's sixth year is concerned. I can monitor when he achieves these milestones.

Growth Charts

Generally, we keep saying that yes, kids have become taller or their weight seems to have increased or they thinned out a bit. Frankly speaking, I don't keep records of these numbers because how to or where to record them is the biggest question. No worries now with the Growth Charts section of the HealthHub app.

It's possible to track their growth details till they turn 18 years old.

School Health Assessment Summary

The letter was found. I took her to the Optometrist and she got her specs. Thank God it was not too late and her power is not too haywire. Glad that I could find the missing piece of information on the HealthHub app even if the hard copy of it had gone missing.

You should get HealthHub quickly so you can track kids' health on your smartphone in Singapore!

  • It's as easy to get as saying 1, 2, 3. Visit the HealthHub website and download the app.

The technology being so easy to use is one thing that makes HealthHub undoubtedly awesome.

On another note, I think that the HealthHub app is actually like a diary to document kids’ growth, milestones and all the little details about their health.

Imagine, in a few years, when we look back at the different sections of the app, how beautiful these memories of their childhood will be - those milestones, those tiny spurts of growth, those dental records and so on. ♥
