GrowthSightEVERY CHILD · EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GROW
GrowthSight is developing AI-assisted screening to help frontline health workers identify children at risk of stunting and wasting and monitor their growth. Our goal is quick, accurate measurements from smartphone pictures, so children who need further assessment can be identified early.

RECOGNISE THE NEED · SUPPORT THE NEXT STEP
Malnutrition is not always easy to recognise by looking at a child. Regular screening helps health workers identify children who need further assessment and explain growth concerns to caregivers.
We are developing GrowthSight to make this work easier: take guided pictures, review growth measurements and use the findings to plan referral or follow-up. Measurements over time help teams see whether a child’s growth is improving.

Use height-for-age to screen for stunting. For wasting, choose height with Bluetooth-connected weight or Automated MUAC — two separate offerings.
Estimate a child’s height from guided smartphone pictures. Combined with age and sex, height-for-age screening can flag a concern that needs closer assessment.
Height with Bluetooth-connected weight, or Automated MUAC. Each is a separate offering; neither requires the other.
Combine GrowthSight’s height estimate with weight from a Bluetooth-connected weighing scale to support weight-for-height screening.
Height: 100.1 cmCombined for weight-for-height screening.
For programmes using height and weight together. Measurement quality and screening findings need review by trained teams.
Calculate mid-upper arm circumference from smartphone pictures. Use the same images captured for GrowthSight height calculation to support wasting screening.

Weight-for-height and MUAC can identify different children. Their screening results stay separate, and concerns require further assessment. WHO wasting guideline ↗
HOW IT WORKS
Designed for quick, guided picture capture and results on the phone during the same visit. Review measurements, explain the findings to the caregiver and decide the next step.
Explain the process to the caregiver, obtain the appropriate consent and enter the child’s details. Choose a well-lit space with one flat wall.
Use guided smartphone capture: front, right-facing side with the left arm visible, then back. Review the pictures before continuing.
Check the pictures and estimated measurements before using the screening result. For weight-for-height, add the reading from a connected scale. MUAC uses the same pictures without a scale.
Explain the findings to the caregiver and arrange further assessment where needed, following your programme’s referral guidance. Repeat measurements at follow-up visits to monitor the child’s growth.
ABOUT US
GrowthSight is a deeptech startup building AI solutions for child malnutrition screening and growth monitoring.
We use deep learning and computer vision to turn smartphone pictures into useful growth measurements. We are working towards faster screening and more accurate growth monitoring, so frontline teams can recognise concerns and support timely follow-up.
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow well. We are developing our products with that purpose in mind, and seeking pilot enquiries to evaluate them in frontline settings.
FAQ
GrowthSight is in development and seeking pilot enquiries. Stunting screening and Automated MUAC are pilot capabilities. Bluetooth-connected weighing is part of the offering. Each full screening workflow needs field evaluation before wider use; speed and accuracy are development goals, not established performance claims.
Only for the Height + Bluetooth Connected Weight offering. Automated MUAC is a separate route and does not require a weighing scale. Height-for-age screening uses height, age and sex.
The application is being developed for Android. Supported devices, camera requirements and compatible Bluetooth scales will be confirmed when scoping a pilot; compatibility with every Android phone is not assumed.
No. Image-derived measurements support screening and need review. Weight-for-height and MUAC can identify different children. Concerns require further assessment by trained teams; the application does not replace that judgement.
GrowthSight supports screening for children aged 6–59 months.
No. GrowthSight is not yet certified as a medical device. We plan to validate the product in field settings and gather evidence before seeking the applicable medical-device certification.
GrowthSight is being designed with privacy and responsible data handling in mind. Consent, access, storage, and retention must be agreed for each pilot before data collection. This website does not collect child assessment records.
