Parents and carers across Herefordshire and Worcestershire can now download the free HANDi app, designed to advise them on what to do if their child is unwell. The App contains information about when and how to ask for help, to give people the confidence to deal with minor childhood health care conditions.
The HANDi app provides advice and support to parents and carers of children up to eleven years of age when their child is feeling unwell. It works by asking questions about the child’s condition, to help the parent decide on the best course of action. All of the advice has been developed and approved by local NHS paediatricians and other healthcare professionals.
The app offers simple and straightforward advice for conditions including, asthma, wheezing, high temperature, diarrhoea and vomiting and abdominal pain, amongst others. It enables a parent to check the symptoms and get instant, NHS-approved medical advice.
For more information, and to download the App, visit the The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care System website. Or Search “Handi” on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
