Great app - slow booting up

This is a great app but using it in EMS can be less than ideal as it takes 30 seconds to load almost every time. Is this being looked into?

Response from developer

Thanks for the review and support of the app! We have connected the app to a database so updated medications and dosing will be reflected immediately on the app and not be dependent on a complete app update. Weโ€™re aware of the current lag in connecting to the database and will have a fix released shortly. Thanks again for the support and let us know any further suggestions for improvements!

Slow to open

Older version was 5 stars, I could rely on it working 100% of the time. This latest version takes too long to open and requires good internet connectivity which isnโ€™t always possible. Can no longer rely on it when I need it.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Pedi STAT is now connected to an online database, allowing it be updated with the current evidence-based recommendations. We are continuing to work on this interface, and anticipate any updates to the app to happen nearly instantaneously as we improve this connection.

App no longer starts

Whenever the app is started, it stays stuck on a loading screen! It is now unusable.

The go-to for Peds EM

Nearly everyone I know in my emergency department has this app and for good reason: Simple and intuitive UI with all the info you need for any truly sick kid that rolls into the ED. A must for any EM provider

Updates should be prompt

Love this app! Use it regularly. My only issue is that I work in a low resource environment and donโ€™t have internet access at point of care. Now when I start the app it hangs because it canโ€™t check if the database is up to date. I appreciate that updates are important but it would be better if it was an optional prompt (do you want to check for updates) vs an automatic thing as in an emergency restarting the app and trying to get internet access take precious time away from the case at hand. Or if the updates were pushed as app updates that would be good as well.

Good application but need antibiotics syrup

can you add antibiotics syrup?

Love this app!

This app is very helpful especially with medication dosages. Is there an adult version of this?

Response from developer

Thank you for the review! We are currently working on the design for an adult version of the app. We don't have a launch date yet, but are excited about what we are developing. If you have any particular suggestions for content, please notify us at contact@Pedi-STAT.com

Great reference

Only thing I really suggest the developers look at are the new NRP guidelines and recommendations for neonatal dosing. Hope that helps!!!

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. We wanted to update you that we are currently working on adding NRP guidelines into the app! It should be available to you in the very near future-

Love this app!

This is my go to pediatric application and I recommend it regularly. It gives you quick and easy access to dosages tailored to your patient without having to do math in the middle of an emergency. One click and the answer is at your fingertips. A little pricey but totally worth it!

PO Antibiotics

Just downloaded this app only to find thereโ€™s no options/recommendations for PO antibiotics?? I know this app is designed with ER physicians in mind, but certainly there are times when even they send patients home on PO antibiotics. I think that would really make this app much more complete and helpful for those of us in family medicine, urgent care, etc. Otherwise great app and very user friendly.

Response from developer

Thank you this feedback. This is actually something we are currently working on. There are a few challenges to this considering the range of recommended doses for different conditions, as well as variable concentrations, suspension vs. tablets, etc. Regardless, weโ€™re working on a viable solution and hope to have it implemented soon. Thanks again and please let us know any other suggestions for additions or improvements.
