Pediatric blood pressure calculator

You pick gender, enter age and height, and the app returns the blood pressure percentiles that match those inputs. Optional next step: type the systolic and diastolic values you just measured, and it highlights the closest band.

That is the whole job. No patient chart sync. No automatic diagnosis. A fast lookup when you would otherwise be hunting a row in a printed table.

Say you have an 8-year-old boy, height recorded, cuff reading done. You need to know where 112/70 sits relative to his peers of the same age and height. Adult cutoffs do not answer that. Percentiles do.

Open Pediatric Blood Pressure, enter the demographics, read the bands, then enter the measured values if you want the comparison called out. Document in your usual note. Decide with the rest of the visit in mind.

Built for pediatric clinicians and trainees. Parents should not use it to diagnose a child at home. If a reading worries a family, that is a clinical visit, not an app store download.

The tables follow the American Academy of Pediatrics 2017 Clinical Practice Guideline for Screening and Management of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents. When something looks odd, check the published guideline. The app is a reference aid, not a replacement for judgment.

This page explains the calculator workflow. The live tool is the iOS app on the Pediatric Blood Pressure product page. If you want chart-oriented context or screening caveats, use the sibling guides in the pediatric medicine hub.
