Pocket Pediatrician

Pocket Pediatrics is the ultimate app for parents. This application contains a wealth of information about common illnesses, scenarios and concerns that are frequently encountered by parents. Pocket Pediatrics channels all of the wisdom and experience of a popular pediatrician and presents it in a simple and accessible way for parents to access at any time. Pocket Pediatrics has a simple layout which is ideal for the parent who is "on the go" or who needs a quick consult.

The main section of this app is organized by frequent symptoms and problems. By clicking on any symptom your child may have, you can see how a pediatrician assesses the seriousness of the symptom, how the symptom is evaluated, how a diagnosis is made, and how any disease may be treated. You will get help in assessing which symptom is an emergency, which is urgent, which can wait until tomorrow, and which symptom is harmless or requires no intervention. Simple home care and remedies are also described. Other app sections include detailed descriptions of normal newborn care, descriptions of common developmental milestones of each age group, and essays on a collection of advanced topics in pediatrics. The final section includes references of the best books about parenting and a selection of useful parenting and medical websites. Links are included to a companion twitter site for regular updates and parenting news and a general email box for general questions and for suggestions of future topics.
