We’ve enhanced pediatric growth charting by introducing Weight Gain Velocity Z-Scores, providing clinicians with additional insight into a child’s rate of weight gain during the first two years of life. While traditional growth charts remain valuable for tracking overall growth patterns, this enhancement adds standardized WHO-based velocity metrics that help clinicians evaluate growth trends between visits and monitor developmental progress more closely.

When enabled in the Growth Chart settings, Velocity Z-Score (Vel Z-score) and Velocity Percentile (Vel Pct) are displayed directly within growth chart tooltips, offering a quick view of weight gain velocity alongside existing growth data. Color-coded indicators help users quickly interpret results, while calculations are automatically applied when appropriate based on patient age and visit intervals. This enhancement provides a more detailed view of early childhood growth patterns and supports informed clinical decision-making during critical developmental stages.
