Allied Pediatrics Provides Parents with On-the-go Comprehensive Pediatric Resources with New iPhone App
Melville, NY (February 10, 2011) —Allied Pediatrics of New York, PLLC (APNY), a 90-pediatrician group formed in 2007, is proud to announce the launch of its iPhone app, AlliedPeds. The application provides parents with quick and reliable access to pediatrician-approved health and wellness information anywhere, anytime.
AlliedPeds contains a wealth of information about common illnesses and concerns that are frequently encountered by parents, giving them the ability to access information derived from the clinical protocols used by pediatricians and nurses in the US and Canada that have been tested for over 15 years on more than 150 million calls.
"Over the course of a child’s life, parents are constantly faced with challenges and unexpected issues when it comes to their child’s nutrition, health, sleep and development – all of which are essential for a happy and healthy child and parent," said Dr. Gary Mirkin, CEO, Allied Pediatrics of New York. "The AlliedPeds App helps keep parents informed with easily accessible pediatric health and wellness information that they can trust, enabling them to be prepared in any situation."
With a variety of features ranging from medical definitions to home care advice and pediatric dosage tables, parents are able to make smart decisions based on what their child’s symptoms are, the level of care that is needed and how to provide speedy symptom relief for minor illnesses or injuries that can be managed on their own. This comprehensive app includes:
- Symptom Checker with Easy 3-step navigation – consisting of various symptom care guides along with a symptom decision chart to find the recommended action
- Care Guides allowing your child’s symptom to be located quickly by using the alphabetical index, body area index, or keyword search.
- Parent Advice Messages including 145 of the most common behavior and wellness questions parents ask their physicians. Each topic provides a description of the issue, three to five specific recommendations to address the concern, and additional resources, which may be useful to your situation.
In addition, the AlliedPeds app provides direct access to your child’s Patient Portal, Allied Pediatrics After Hours Center and special programs including the APNY Obesity Program, Behavioral/Mental Health Program and The Breastfeeding Medicine Center.
