The HANDi Paediatric app is now available to parents across Herefordshire and Worcestershire which is free to download onto any Apple device via the App Store or any Android device via the Google Play Store.
The HANDi Paediatric app, developed by NHS organisations across Worcestershire, provides advice and support to parents and carers of children up to eleven years of age when their child is unwell. It contains information about when and how to ask for help thereby giving parents more confidence in dealing with minor childhood health care conditions. The HANDi app offers simple and straightforward advice for the following conditions in children:
• Diarrhoea and vomiting
• High temperature
• ‘chesty baby’ illnesses, such as bronchiolitis, asthma, and croup
• ‘chesty child’ illnesses such as wheezing and asthma
• Abdominal pain
• Common newborn problems.
