The easy-to-use app puts KidsHealth's trusted health information and advice at parents' fingertips. Featuring 85-plus infections and illnesses, the app answers the most common questions parents ask, starting with "Is It Contagious?"

Is It Contagious? helps parents identify and assess the contagiousness, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of the most common childhood conditions. The app includes multiple features, including an A-Z conditions library, information on how to treat symptoms, and an image gallery of photo-realistic illustrations of infections as they appear in children.

"KidsHealth has always provided the most up-to-date doctor-approved children's health information on the web," said Dr. Neil Izenberg, founder and chief executive of Nemours' KidsHealth.org. "Is It Contagious? is the next step toward expanding our reach with parents both online and off."
