Mobile Safety App

Customizable mobile app to reduce injury

Injuries are a major source of childhood emergency department and hospital admissions. Nearly 9000 children and young adults, aged 0-19 years, die from unintentional injuries each year. Known effective safety devices are readily available, however, there is no centralized and authoritative information available to parents on how to achieve a safe home and which products are most-suited to their homes and families. Researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital have developed a mobile safety app and a corresponding website to provide correct, reliable and trusted child and home safety information to help parents identify injury hazards "room-by-room" to make their homes safe for their families. This mobile safety app will allow parents to select and purchase safety products that are best-suited to the features of their homes and will provide tips for proper installation as well as reminders for correct and consistent use.
