Q1. What information can I find on the Children's Health page?
Children's Health is a section in the HealthHub mobile app and web portal. You will be able to view and update information like your child's height and weight, developmental milestones and birth information. For school age children, you will also be able to view your child's health records, oral health and immunisation records if available.
Q2. Is this going to replace the hard copy Health Booklet? What is the difference?
No, this is to supplement the hard copy Health Booklet and help parents to track and monitor the development and growth of their child in HealthHub.
HealthHub also provides relevant information on child development and growth as well as reminders on relevant milestones of your children.
Q3. Do I still need to bring the hard copy Health Booklet when my child visit the clinic for immunisation/vaccination or developmental assessment?
Yes, please bring the hard copy Health Booklet to the clinic so that the doctors/nurses can record the vaccinations given or the outcome of their assessment in the hardcopy Health Booklet.
Q4. When or how often do I need to update the milestones in the mobile app?
You are free to visit HealthHub as often as you wish. We encourage you to update the milestones regularly. You will also be prompted to update based on relevant milestone according to your child's age.
Q5. When or how often do I need to enter the growth information like height and weight in the mobile app?
As a child’s growth pattern varies quite a lot over the various age-groups, there does not seem to be standardised recommendations for frequency for measurements. Generally, the recommendations seem to be that the growth should be measured as part of the scheduled well-baby and well-child health visits. Please consult your doctors/nurses.
As for school-age children, the recommendation is to measure 6-monthly or yearly.
Q6. Will the system remind me on when and what to do? How often will I be reminded?
Yes, the system will notify you on relevant milestones for your child based on their age, growth related information as well as recommended readings via push notification on your mobile device. We encourage you to subscribe to the HealthHub push notification services to be kept updated on this.
Q7. I cannot enter my child's birth information, developmental milestones and growth chart on HealthHub Portal. Why?
The HealthHub Portal is for viewing of information only. You have to download the HealthHub mobile app to enter the information.
Q8. If my child is not meeting the milestone, what should I do?
You should seek the advice of your doctors/nurses during the scheduled developmental assessment of your child.
Q9. When I click on Growth Charts, the system display the error U0011. What does it mean?
This error is caused by incomplete information about the child such as incomplete Date of Birth or Gender. You may refer to the 'Contact Us' section to send us your feedback.
Q10. When I enter my child's growth information, the system shows that the measurement is out of range. What does it mean?
It means you may have entered a value that is not within the valid range for that measurement item (e.g. head circumference, height, weight). Please check the value and re-enter again.
Q11. When I enter my child's growth information, the system shows that the measurement is in the low range. What does it mean?

- Based on our local growth charts, your child is underweight when compared with others in the same age-group. You may wish to check with and seek advice from your doctors/nurses.

Q13. What does the percentile on the growth charts mean?
The percentile for each measurement item indicates how your child's measurement compares with others in the same age-group for that measurement item. For example, if the height percentile for your child's measurement is shown as 75% - this indicates that your child is as tall as or taller than 75% of children in the same age-group, whereas if the height percentile is shown as 10% - this indicates that your child is as tall as or taller than only 10% of children in the same age-group. The same applies for the percentiles for the weight, BMI or head circumference.
Q14. Should I show the milestones and growth charts I entered to my doctors/nurses?
Yes, as this will help the doctors/nurses in their assessment.
