moab® rehydration app app for iPhone and iPad

Check for dehydration symptoms and rehydrate your child in your own home. The moab app guides you through rehydrating your child (6 months to 18 years) using medically-proven oral rehydration therapy.The app includes a symptom-checker to help measure your child’s dehydration level and guides you through a rehydration management plan tailored to your child. 50 years of scientific evidence (and the WHO) recommend this approach for most children with mild to moderate dehydration.

Common reasons for child dehydration include:
* Stomach bugs (gastroenteritis, infectious diarrhea, and stomach flu)

* Recommendations for age-based fluid types, dosage levels, and time intervals
* Timed guidance on what to do next through the rehydration process
* Instructions for what to do if your child refuses to drink
* Guides you through the steps required if your child vomits during rehydration
