There are many doubts that assail the parents of young children, so I want to recommend iPediatric, a complete medical application for parents of babies from 0 to 12 months.
It has been developed by three prestigious pediatricians at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona: Santiago García-Tornel, Juan José García García and José Mª Quintillá Martínez, and offers the possibility of consulting at any time, as if we had the pediatrician's office at a simple click Although, it certainly does not replace the medical consultation, it answers hundreds of questions about the baby's health.
iPediatric It has five sections (dictionary, development, symptoms, graphics, baby) and at first glance the most valued is that its language is very close, easy to understand by parents, and that it has been conceived to function as a virtual office.
It contains information about 126 problems or diseases of the baby in the first year of life and its treatment, information about the psychomotor development of the child according to his age and about signs or symptoms that may worry the parents.
Another issue that worries is how to know if we have to go to the pediatrician or not. Depending on the severity of the symptoms referred to, the application will indicate by means of a color code as a traffic light (red, yellow and green) if it requires medical attention and how quickly.
The application also draws the development curves according to the measurements and the weight of the child, and makes a history with the relevant events of the baby, ideal to take to the pediatrician's consultation.
It also includes an emergency button through which you can call the emergency room or the pediatrician in an alert situation.
Of course iPediatric It does not issue diagnoses, but it has seemed to me the most complete application since it is very useful to have truthful first-hand information and solutions to treat the baby.
It is downloaded on iTunes for 1.59 euros and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (third generation), iPod touch (fourth generation) and iPad.
