GroAssist

A support app for parents and carers of children on growth hormone treatment

We know parents and carers can find it challenging to motivate their children to take daily growth hormone injections. There are appointments to remember, height to be monitored, and injections to be taken each day. That’s why we designed GroAssist. GroAssist is designed specifically for parents and carers of young children who have been prescribed Genotropin (somatropin), to help them get the most from their growth hormone treatment and keep on track with injections.

Key features include:

• Helping parents and carers establish a daily injection routine by recording injection sites and setting reminders

• ‘Scratch-and-reveal' rewards to motivate and engage children with their treatment

• Growth charts to help parents and carers see how treatment is helping

• Data from the app can help support discussions with healthcare professionals

• Details can be shared between parents and carers, which can help improve continuity of care when treatment is managed between multiple carers

Please note: access to GroAssist is only available to patients taking Pfizer’s Genotropin. Patients will need an access code from their healthcare provider to access the app. For advice on your condition, always contact your healthcare professional in the first instance.
