Children's nutrition brand TruHeight launched the free TruHeight Growth Tracker app to make it easier for parents to see how tall their child is likely to be. "Every parent has wondered how tall their kid is going to be. Pediatricians have been answering that with the same formula for years, and most parents just never get to see it themselves," said Eden Stelmach, co-founder of TruHeight. "We built the Growth Tracker so families can see the same charts their doctor sees, anytime they want."
This app shares a child's growth percentile on a standardized CDC chart, and a projected adult height range based on the mid-parental height (MPH) formula, and offers streaks, badges, and a leaderboard that gets kids excited about healthy routines and their development.
