Should Health Booklet go digital?

why don't we have a more portable and easy-to-keep version of health booklet? In addition, we can save the records of our own children's growth in a more accurate and easy-to-refer way.

I totally agree with you on this. As a parent, I found it very difficult to keep track of baby records across all my caregivers. My mum keeps track of some records herself, my mother in law keeps track of records herself, my domestic helper reports to me by ear. It's so hard to consolidate all these records. I gathered a group of fellow parents to come up with prototype to test out ideas to consolidate all records digitally. I'm looking for volunteers to provide feedback for the visual prototype. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSddpQUs_YHoM8psqdG5yRYqI1Oq-NRH6CNe1sYTLSdcngBc3A/viewform?usp=sf_link

Oh Dang.... Thanks for pointing that out. My silly mistake. Do see if you can view the visual prototype, and maybe share some pointers you may have. I hope to open up this service someday if the feedback is good.

Agree with you! Go digital with access for both parents. I'm not saying my husband just rely on me but you know he also need to keep tabs literally on our daughter's record and anyways he's very into his phone. So, yea, digital it is! LOL

I believe digital is better in this day and age. I also find it hard to keep my child’s records and they always get lost. 🙈
