Are you confused and frustrated each time you need to give your child fever or allergy medication, not knowing how much to give?
I made an app, KidDose, that tells you the right dose by weight with 1 click:
- Tylenol
- Motrin/Advil
- Benadryl
- Zyrtec

Kid has a fever? Here鈥檚 what you need to tell the pediatrician:
1. How many days?
2. Highest temperature?
3. What other symptoms are they having?
These 3 points help you have a more productive conversation with the triage person or pediatrician.

Sometimes I google a generic product then head over to Instagram to see what the robot overlord has selected as the perfect version of it for me.
It still takes a village to raise a healthy child.
People鈥檚 physical and emotional needs have not changed. Only the village disappeared in the last few decades in our country.
The good news is we can rebuild this.
If it doesn鈥檛 make life more efficient, more connected, or more beautiful IRL, it鈥檚 not good technology.
Medical history taking by traditional healers:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?
