PediatricRx
PediatricRx is a clinician-facing iOS app that provides real-time, weight-based drug dosing for pediatric emergencies. The platform supports four weight-entry methods, including Broselow tape color and age-based estimation, while automatically applying maximum dose limits and displaying complete formulas for verification. The app operates fully offline, making it suitable for transport vehicles and rural facilities.

Problem
Pediatric drug dosing requires individual weight-based calculations under extreme time pressure, often with an estimated weight and without a pharmacist present at the bedside. Medication errors are the leading cause of preventable harm in pediatric patients, and paper-based references are not fast enough for emergency resuscitations.
Solution
PediatricRx provides a clinician-facing iOS app that delivers real-time, weight-based drug dosing for pediatric emergencies. The app accepts weight via four pathways—direct entry, Broselow tape color, age-based estimation, or height-based fallback—and automatically applies maximum dose limits, range thresholds, and adult-dose switching. Every calculation displays its complete formula so clinicians can verify the math before administering. The app also includes a code timer for CPR cycles and epinephrine intervals, interactive compounding guides, PALS-aligned references, and full offline functionality for use in transport or rural settings.
Target Audience
Primary users are emergency physicians, pediatric critical care clinicians, paramedics, and nurses who manage pediatric resuscitations in emergency departments, transport vehicles, and rural or low-resource facilities.
Features
- Dosing engine supports per-kg, flat, range, and threshold dosing with auto-applied max dose limits and adult-dose switching
- Four weight-entry methods: direct kg/lbs input, Broselow color band, age-based estimation, and height-based fallback
- Code timer with 120-second CPR cycle tracking, epinephrine interval alerts, shock counter, pre-calculated resuscitation doses, H's and T's checklist, and timestamped event log
- Interactive compounding guides with branching by vial size and target concentration, plus multiple recipes per drug
- Reference tools include age-stratified PALS vitals, AAP 2017 BP tool with height percentile inputs, airway equipment by Broselow band, and defibrillation/cardioversion calculators
- Offline-first architecture caches all medication data locally and syncs silently in the background when connectivity returns
- Continuous infusion calculator with rate slider and real-time mL/hr pump output
