uGrow for Professionals

Starting mid-December, Philips’ uGrow baby development tracker app will be phased out from the Apple App Store and Android’s Google Play Store. Below you will find important information that would be useful for you to know as our current users.

If you are looking for an alternative app for tracking, we recommend using Baby+.

Our free baby development tracking app helps parents understand and support baby's development during pregnancy and parenthood.

uGrow is designed to provide unique, personalized insights into a baby’s development. Parents are increasingly turning to online platforms for pregnancy and childcare advice or support.² Furthermore, mobile health or electronic health programmes have been shown to impact a number of infant health outcomes^3,4 and be beneficial to healthcare professionals in providing personalized support to new parents.⁵

67.1% of nurses and 89.6% of doctors owning medical apps use them as part of their clinical practice¹

uGrow captures:

Developmental milestones
Date of birth
Name and gender of child
Weight and height
