Every school need a tool that helps to systematically store every child’s comprehensive health information, inclusive of immunization records, growth charts, pathology, radiology and other reports in one place. Such a tool is ideal for all – children, parents as well as the school administration.
Health check-ups in school are important as they help:
• To assess normal development of the child
• To keep track of immunization schedule
• Early detection of disease / abnormalities, which when treated in time, allows the child to lead a normal life
• This preventive check-up data becomes the baseline for future reference
Every school need a tool that helps to systematically store every child’s comprehensive health information, inclusive of immunization records, growth charts, pathology, radiology and other reports in one place. Such a tool is ideal for all – children, parents as well as the school administration.
Keeping the above in view, TeachTech brings you the comprehensive ‘HealthTech' module – (School health assessment & e-recording) which:
• Facilitates the assessment of a child’s growth and development through the school years
• Helps recognize problems early on
How does the ‘HealthTech' module work?
• The ‘HealthTech' module undertakes detailed health check-ups, of school children:
• Physical examination
• Dental examination
• Eye examination
• Audiometry test
• Their health records are stored electronically on Personal Health Record (PHR) accounts
• Individual records are accessible to the child and/or parents
• Parents are guided on how to update their children’s out-of-school medical data here
• Schools receive an administrative account so that they can access any student’s health record instantly in case of emergency
• Schools can also analyze further medical-bas
Advantages of ‘Health-Tech' module:
• Makes complete medical records available to a child/ parent/ doctor/ school administration anytime, anywhere, at the click of a mouse
• Becomes a central repository for medical data of all students of the school which can be life saving during medical emergencies
• Keeps the school safe from medico-legal view point
• Can be integrated with the annual medical check-up of students so as to capture all information immediately
• Allows the school medical team to do a ‘Heath Audit’ to monitor progress in health of their students
• Gives parents access to their child’s medical records on a real-time basis
Regular Support:
Considering the amount of time children spend in school nowadays, it is vital for schools also to partner with parents in the healthcare of children.
Some other good reasons for conducting regular health check-ups of children:
Good health has direct impact on academics and attendance. E.g. Vision and hearing directly impact the child’s ability to understand and keep pace with academic work in the class. Sadly, these problems are on the rise today due to increased time spent in front of gadgets and with earphones
Wellness initiatives are important to ensure that children remain healthy and perform well in curricular as well as extra-curricular activities
It is mandatory for schools to maintain health data of children and storage of electronic health data empowers the school to view any child’s ‘Key Medical Information’ in seconds in case of medical emergency during school hours
Electronic health data of children also helps the school to study overall health trend of children and take necessary remedial action. E.g. modify the type of food available in case of increasing obesity, inclusion of gymnastics/yoga, etc.
Furthermore, preventive health check-ups draw attention of parents to likely health problems in their children.
Advantages for the school:
Ensures that a child’s ‘Key Medical Information’ is available within seconds during medical emergency, if any, during school hours
School authorities can analyze health data and plan corrective/remedial measures – diet, availability of certain types of food in canteen, exercises, training sessions for children, teachers, parents, etc
Better academic performance and all round development of children
Access their child’s complete health data anytime, anywhere
Ensure timely immunization
Monitor growth parameters of their children – height, weight and BMI
Take charge of their child’s health and ensure all round growth and development.
