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 pediatric care guides are derived from the telephone protocols used by more than 400 hospital and health plan-based nurse advice lines and by 90% of pediatric practices. They have been tested on over 150 million symptom calls.
Each care guide is reviewed by physicians, specialists and nurses for accuracy. The annual review and updates also incorporate parent feedback regarding clarity and ease of use.
Follow the self care advice to manage your child’s illnesses & injuries at home.
Connect to 911, your doctor, your child’s doctor or nearby Emergency Department are available if you have phone service. Pocket Doc also includes easy access to phone numbers for many All Children’s Hospital Departments and services, maps to the All Children’s Outpatient Care locations, and more.
One-touch access to the recommended dosage for common over-the-counter medications.
The images help you identify symptoms (e.g. rashes), injuries and common causes of bites & stings. First aid illustrations support proper interim care.
