Hey @Mat, @lance.elder, and @barry.taylor,

The Royal College of Paediatrics (in the UK) has published their code for their digital growth charts here:

What do you think?

Thanks Nathan! Good spotting. Lance - we have talked about the way forwards re growth charts and APIs in the past. Is this something we can leverage off?

It’s very early days for this RCPCH work, we only just ‘went public’ with code release on Saturday.

But it’s definitely the plan that we will add other API endpoints such as ones for WHO data tables (in the UK we use a mixture of the WHO and ‘UK90’ data reference tables). The RCPCH is actively looking to be commissioned to add these endpoints to the existing code, so if you need this and have budget then I can put you in touch with the right people.

Of course the entire codebase is open source so you would be free to develop something of your own based off what we have built, but we’d much prefer to keep the community together and develop on a single codebase. External contributions are of course welcome. Subject to QA we would add further endpoints to the main API
