How to make an app for a child specialist clinic

A child clinic follows each child for years: vaccines due at set ages, weight and height at every visit, and parents who forget the next due date. An app for the clinic keeps each child's vaccination record and growth readings, and lists who is due this week, so the receptionist can remind parents.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The clinic: the doctor and the receptionist. One reception phone can keep the data on that phone. If the doctor and receptionist use separate phones, or you want parents to see their child's record, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in so each parent sees only their own children.

The screens a child specialist clinic app needs

Today: OPD tokens in order, and vaccination visits booked for the afternoon
Children: Search by child's or parent's name or phone; date of birth, parent's contact, allergies the doctor noted, siblings linked
Vaccinations: Each child's vaccines given with date and batch noted by staff, and the next due dates the doctor has set
Growth: Weight, height and head size by visit, with a simple chart of the readings
Due this week: Children with a vaccine due, with a WhatsApp reminder button for each parent
Payments: Consultation and vaccine charges, and what was collected each day

Features worth asking for

A due-this-week list built from the dates the doctor set for each child
A reminder button that opens WhatsApp with the child's name, vaccine and date ready to send
Siblings linked to one parent's phone number
A vaccination record as a PDF to share with the parent or print
A growth chart of the readings taken at the clinic
Token numbers for the OPD so the receptionist can tell parents who is next

Where the data lives

On one reception phone, the data stays on that phone. For the doctor's phone as well, or for parents to see their child's record, connect your own Supabase database with sign-in; to take fees online, connect your own Razorpay account.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Today, Children, Vaccinations, Growth, Due this week.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your child specialist clinic, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my clinic, Banerjee Child Clinic, Kolkata. Screens: today, children, vaccinations, growth, due this week and payments. Each child has a date of birth, parent's name and phone, and allergies; siblings share a parent. Staff record each vaccine given with date and batch, and the doctor sets the next due date. Growth stores weight, height and head size by visit with a chart. The due-this-week list has a WhatsApp reminder button for each parent. Make the vaccination record a PDF. OPD tokens on the today screen. Yellow and sky blue colours.

Tips for a child specialist clinic app

Let the doctor set every due date. Ask AppCub to show the dates you enter, not to work out a schedule by itself.
Start with children, vaccinations and the due list; add growth charts and payments after the first week.
Children's records are sensitive. Keep the phone locked, use sign-in if more than one phone is used, and follow the law on patient data.
Ask for the reminder message in English and Bengali or Hindi, whichever your parents read.
Enter a few test children with different ages and check the due list before you move real records in.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to weighing scales or other clinic equipment, and it doesn't send automatic SMS or WhatsApp; reminders go when the receptionist taps the button. The app records what staff enter and doesn't give medical advice.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app remind parents when a vaccine is due?

It lists the children due this week, and a button opens WhatsApp with the reminder ready. The receptionist sends it from the clinic's number.

Can I record weight and height at each visit?

Yes. Ask for a growth screen with readings by date and a simple chart of how they changed.

Can parents see their child's vaccination record?

Yes, if you connect your own Supabase database with sign-in, so each parent sees only their children. Or share the record as a PDF on WhatsApp.

Can one parent have two children in the app?

Yes. Ask for siblings linked to the parent's phone number, so you find both children with one search.

Does the app decide which vaccine is due next?

No. The doctor sets each due date and the app shows it. It doesn't give medical advice.

Can we use it on a tablet at the reception?

AppCub builds Android apps, so an Android tablet works. You can also share it as a web link that opens in a browser.
