Free Mobile App for Advice on Common Childhood Illnesses
|
A free mobile app called the HANDi App has been developed and approved by Paediatric Consultants at the Royal United Hospital (RUH) and endorsed by local GPs. The app provides expert advice on how best to manage the six most common childhood illnesses; diarrhoea and vomiting, high temperature, chestiness, newborn problems and stomach pain. This app has been created to help parents and carers if they’re not sure what to do when their child has a common childhood illness. It’s easy to use and takes the parent or carer through a series of questions about the symptoms their child is experiencing and then advises on the best course of action, whether that’s to treat at home, make a GP appointment or to go to A&E.
One of the advantages of downloading the app onto a mobile means the advice is always with you if you need it and the app also advises which healthcare service parents should contact if their child’s illness worsens and when to seek immediate help.
HANDi App is available to download for free from the [iTunes App Store] and [Google Play Store]; the HANDi App will work on any Apple or Android device.
