Sick Kid? We Have An App For That

Making health care decisions just got easier for our patient families. I am excited to introduce the new Texas Children's Pediatrics ParentAdvice Center app which we designed to help families better understand and make decisions about their children’s health. Available for download on iTunes and Google Play, Texas Children’s ParentAdvice Center helps provide parents the support and information they need to make timely decisions about what type of care their child needs in a medical situation — whether that means providing care for minor illnesses at home or finding a Texas Children’s Pediatrics practice or urgent care facility. ​

With this new app, you can look up your child’s symptoms by body area, keyword or alphabetical list. Each symptom will tell you the cause, advice to care for your child’s symptoms, when to call 911, go to the emergency center or to call your pediatrician. The app also provides answers to behavior, eating and wellness questions along with an area to save your child’s medications, allergies and dosage tables. You will also have the option to locate a Texas Children’s Pediatrics practice by clicking on the “Seek Help” section at the bottom. This will allow you to select and call your practice, locate a practice, login to MyChart, find the closest ER or Urgent Care, call poison control or call 911.
