Clinic management software for paediatricians
DocBase is clinic management software for Indian paediatric practices. It tracks growth across visits, calculates weight-based dosing, holds the immunisation schedule per child, and sends parents automated WhatsApp reminders before each vaccine is due - the three things a paediatric OPD cannot run without.
What slows down a paediatric clinic in India?
The three constraints pediatricians report most often are below. Each maps to a specific DocBase capability rather than to a general promise of efficiency.
Immunisation schedules are easy to drop
Every child is on a different point of the IAP schedule. Tracking who is due for what, across a few thousand children, is not a job for a register.
Dosing is weight-dependent and changes every visit
Paediatric prescribing recalculates constantly. Manual arithmetic under time pressure is where errors enter.
Parents are the ones who need reminding
The patient does not book their own follow-up. Communication has to reach the parent, on the channel they actually read.
How does DocBase support pediatricians specifically?
DocBase ships specialty clinical templates and workflows for paediatric clinic work, not a general-medicine form with the labels changed. The four capabilities below are the ones pediatricians use daily.
Growth tracking across visits
Height, weight, and head circumference are captured at every visit and plotted over time, so deviation from the child's own trajectory is visible rather than inferred.
Immunisation schedule per child
Each child carries their own vaccine schedule with what has been given and what is due. Upcoming doses drive automatic parent reminders.
WhatsApp reminders to parents
Vaccine due dates and appointment reminders go to the parent's WhatsApp, with staged nudges before the appointment and self-service reschedule.
Weight-aware prescribing
Prescriptions are written against the weight recorded at the visit, with interaction checking across the child's full medication list.
What does the paediatric clinic visit template capture?
Every consultation in a paediatric clinic records the fields below as structured data, so they can be searched, trended, and carried forward to the next visit instead of sitting in free text.
- Age, weight, height and head circumference
- Growth percentile
- Feeding and developmental milestones
- Presenting complaint
- Immunisation given and next due
- Weight-based prescription
- Parent instructions
Frequently asked questions
Does DocBase track immunisation schedules?
Yes. Each child has their own immunisation record showing doses given and doses due. Upcoming vaccinations trigger automated WhatsApp reminders to the parent, so the schedule is maintained by the system rather than by the front desk remembering.
Can DocBase plot paediatric growth over time?
Yes. Height, weight, and head circumference recorded at each visit build a longitudinal growth record, so you can see a child's trajectory across visits instead of comparing today's number to a chart on the wall.
How does DocBase handle consent for a minor patient?
DocBase implements verifiable guardian consent for patients under 18 as required by section 9 of India's DPDP Act 2023. Consent is captured against the guardian with version, timestamp, and IP, and analytics tracking is suppressed for minors.
DocBase provides clinical decision support. All AI-generated output is advisory only - diagnosis, prescribing, and every final clinical decision rest with the treating practitioner.
