Zarina CRM Medical · paediatrics profile
Software for paediatric clinics, with growth charts and the vaccination schedule calculated
In a paediatric practice, two questions come up at every consultation: where the child sits on the growth curve, and which vaccine is next. Both can be answered from data you already have — if someone calculates them. Zarina CRM keeps every child’s measurements, calculates the Z-score and percentile on WHO references, draws the curve, and shows the vaccination schedule with the doses given, those coming up and those overdue. It is installed on the clinic’s own server, with a lifetime licence.
Clinic workflow
From the scales to the next dose, in 6 steps
The steps you take anyway at a check-up, except each one leaves a calculated result, not a figure written on a card.
1
The child’s record
Date of birth and sex, once. From them, the age in months at every visit is worked out, so you no longer calculate it.
2
The measurement
Weight, height or length, head circumference. Recorded with the date of measurement, not the date of entry.
3
The Z-score
The application looks up the reference values for the child’s age and sex and calculates the Z-score and percentile.
4
The curve
The point goes onto the child’s chart. You see the trajectory, not just today’s value.
5
The dose
The vaccine given is ticked on the child’s schedule, with batch and date, and leaves the overdue list.
6
The next visit
The schedule shows what comes next and when. The appointment is booked from the same record.
Growth charts
4 indicators, calculated on WHO references
The application does not draw an approximate curve. It looks up the reference values for the exact age in months and the child’s sex, then calculates the Z-score and percentile from them.
Head circumference
The indicator parents ask about most often in infants, and the one most easily lost on a paper card.
- Measurements per visit
- Its own curve, not an approximation
- Full history per child
- Shown alongside weight and height
Body mass index
Calculated from weight and height, relative to age, with the same Z-score and percentile logic.
- Not calculated by hand
- Relative to the child’s age, not to adults
- Useful at school-age check-ups
- On the same chart
Vaccination schedule
Doses given, doses coming up and doses overdue
The schedule is configured with the age of administration for each dose — set up during implementation to the UAE National Immunisation Programme or your own scheme. From the child’s date of birth, each due date is worked out automatically.
- The schedule, preconfigured. Hepatitis B and BCG at birth, the hexavalent and pneumococcal vaccines at two months, boosters and MMR at their ages — each with the dose label, not just the vaccine name.
- Due dates, calculated. The application does not keep a fixed list of dates. It calculates each dose’s due date from the child’s date of birth, so it is right for every patient.
- Overdue doses, in plain sight. Doses past their age and not given appear separately. You no longer have to read the whole record to see what is missing.
- Batch and date, per dose. At administration, the date and batch are recorded, and the dose leaves the overdue list and enters the history.
- The schedule can be changed. If you follow your own scheme or the programme changes, it is adjusted without touching the code.
Vaccine stock
A dose given reduces stock
Linking the schedule and stock is the only way records stay accurate without extra work.
Consumption from administration
When you tick the dose, the stock issue is recorded by the same action. Nobody has to go through the stock module a second time.
- Movement linked to the patient
- The batch used, traceable
- No double entry
- Movement history
Batches and expiry
Stock is kept by batch, with expiry date, because with vaccines the batch matters more than the total quantity.
- Quantity per batch
- Expiry date
- Traceability per patient
- Write-offs
When it runs out
Requirements are judged on the clinic’s real consumption, not on a fixed minimum written once and forgotten.
- Consumption per period
- Order proposal
- Link to suppliers
- Low-stock alert
What the application does not do
It calculates, it does not interpret
For software that touches a child’s health, limits must be stated as clearly as features.
- It does not diagnose. A Z-score below or above the usual range is a number, not a diagnosis. Interpretation and management remain entirely the doctor’s.
- It does not recommend vaccines. The application shows what the configured schedule includes and what has not been given. Indications, contraindications and the decision are the doctor’s.
- The configured schedule must be checked. It comes preconfigured, but immunisation programmes change. Checking it against current rules remains the clinic’s responsibility; that is why the schedule is editable.
- It does not report anywhere on its own. There is no automatic submission to registries or external platforms. The data stays with you.
- It does not calculate drug doses. There is no paediatric dosage calculator; we do not take on a function where a rounding error could reach the patient.

Transparency
What to know beforehand
The things we would rather you hear from us, not after signing the contract.
- The references are WHO. The reference tables delivered are those of the World Health Organization. If you use another reference set, it can be replaced, but that is separate work.
- The schedule is the one configured at delivery. We deliver it configured; we do not update it ourselves with every regulatory change. That is exactly why the schedule is editable.
- There is no native mobile app. The interface is web-based and works on a phone too, but there is no app in the App Store or Google Play.
- The portal does not replace the vaccination card. Parents see the doses given in the portal, but the official document remains the one you issue.
- We are not a healthcare provider. We sell a working tool. Professional liability and reporting obligations remain with the clinic.
Where you are today
3 things that happen without a system
These are not hypotheses: they are the reasons paediatric practices come to us.
The percentile worked out on a phone
The scales give a figure, then someone looks for an online calculator, enters the age roughly and writes the percentile on the card. At the next visit, nobody knows how it was calculated.
The Z-score and percentile come from the same references every time, on the exact age in months.
The missed dose
The child missed a booster, comes back four months later for something else, and nobody notices a dose was never given. It is discovered at the next check-up or later.
Doses past their age appear in the overdue list, not in the middle of the record.
The hand-drawn curve
The chart in the health booklet is filled in with a pen at the visit. The trajectory is hard to read, and if a page gets wet or lost, the history disappears.
The curve is drawn from saved measurements and can be printed at any time.
Licensing model
A lifetime licence, not a monthly subscription
You pay once for the licence. There is no per-user cost and no monthly fee to keep using the application.
- Unlimited users. A practice with one doctor and one with six pay the same licence.
- It runs on your side. On the clinic’s server or on hosting of your choice. Children’s data does not pass through us.
- Prices are not invented here. You will find them on the pricing page, together with what is and is not included in each package.
- Maintenance is optional. The application works without a support contract. The contract buys intervention and updates, not the right to use it.
Implementation
What you get when you sign the contract
Installation and profile
We install the application on your server and configure the paediatrics profile, with the indicators and vaccination schedule.
Checking the schedule
We go through the delivered schedule together, compare it with what you apply in the clinic and adjust it before the first working day.
Team training
A working session with doctors and nurses, on test children, with measurements and doses entered together.
Fit
Who it is for and who it is not for
It is for
Paediatric and family medicine practices with many children on their lists, that do check-ups and vaccinations and want curves calculated, not drawn.
It is for
Clinics with several doctors, where the child’s record must look the same to whoever sees them and where vaccine stock must be accurate.
It is not for
Anyone looking for a paediatric dosage calculator, automatic integration with national registries, or an app paid monthly and abandoned without consequences.
Security
Where the data lives and who is responsible for it
A child’s data is a minor’s medical data. The question comes first and the answer is short.
- On your server. Installation is on your premises or on the hosting you choose — in the UAE, if you wish. There is no copy of the data with us.
- You are the controller. Under data protection law, the clinic is the data controller. We intervene only on request, for support.
- Role-based access, with a log. You see who logged in and when. Permissions are granted per module, not globally.
- Parental consent, on record. Consents are kept linked to the child’s record, with the date and the signed document.
- Backups in your hands. We show you how they are made and restored; you do not depend on us for that.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about the paediatrics profile
Which references do you use for growth charts?
The World Health Organization reference tables, delivered as a data set with the application. For the exact age in months and the child’s sex, the application takes the reference values and calculates the Z-score and percentile from them.
Which indicators are calculated?
Weight for age, length or height for age, head circumference for age and body mass index for age. Each has its own curve, and every point has its Z-score and percentile.
Is the Z-score calculated by the application a diagnosis?
No. It is the result of a calculation on reference tables. The application shows the value and percentile; whether a child is growing as they should is a clinical judgement, not an arithmetic one.
Is the vaccination schedule the national one?
It is configured during implementation, with the age of administration for each dose, to the UAE National Immunisation Programme or your own scheme. Because programmes change, the schedule stays editable, and checking it against current rules is the clinic’s responsibility.
How is a dose’s due date calculated?
From the child’s date of birth and the age set for that dose. There is no fixed list of dates that is the same for every patient.
Can I use my own vaccination scheme?
Yes. The schedule can be changed, with your own doses, labels and ages, without code changes.
Does a dose given reduce stock automatically?
Yes. Ticking the dose also records the stock issue, on the batch used, so there is no second entry in the stock module.
Do parents see the schedule in the portal?
Yes, if you activate the portal: appointments, published documents and doses given. The official document remains the one you issue.
Does it work for family medicine too?
Yes, and it is one of the most frequent uses: the curves and schedule are used for the children on your list, and the rest of the record remains the Medical edition’s, for adult patients.
