SMART Pediatric Growth Chart

The SMART Pediatric Growth Chart app was produced by the SMART (Substitutable Medical Applications, Reusable Technologies) Project, a Harvard Medical School/Boston Children’s Hospital-led Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Project (SHARP) funded through the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Design expertise was provided by Fjord service design consultancy, guided by a set of content advisors. SMART and MedAppTech developers implemented the app.

The SMART Pediatric Growth Chart app is open source and available under the Apache 2.0 license. For more information, contact Rachel Ramoni, SMART Executive Director, at rachel_ramoni@hms.harvard.edu.
