Pocket Doc Pediatric Symptom Checker App for your Mobile Phone

Pocket Doc makes parenting a little easier by giving you access to reliable information on children’s health. Symptom Guides help you make smart decisions about what (if any) level of care your childs symptoms require and how to provide quick symptom relief at home for minor illnesses or injuries. The information is based on guidelines used since 1997 by thousands of pediatricians and nurses. You can also keep track of your child’s medications and how to use common over-the-counter medicines.

Available on iPhone, Android, and via your web browser.

The iPhone and Android versions also feature:

• Phone directory for All Children’s Hospital (ACH)
• Map of ACH campus and Outpatient Care locations
• Logs for tracking each child’s medications & allergies
• Dosage table for common over-the-counter medicines
