P.O.P. Care 1.3.3

The Seattle Children’s P.O.P. Care pilot app aims to support parents in managing their child's recovery process post-surgery, particularly following a tonsillectomy. This tool provides valuable resources to enhance the recovery experience:

• Access information regarding common symptoms and potential red flags that may require attention.
• Record and monitor pain medication administration, along with reminders for the next doses.
• Track your child’s pain levels to observe their recovery progress.
• Gain insights through educational videos featuring healthcare professionals from Seattle Children’s.

It is important to note that P.O.P. Care is exclusively designed for patients at Seattle Children’s Bellevue Clinic and Surgery Center. While it serves as a helpful resource, it should not replace medical advice provided by your healthcare provider. Caution is advised for patients with complex medical needs or specific considerations such as drug allergies. In the event of unusual symptoms, contacting your physician is recommended, and emergency services should be called if there are any instances of bleeding.

The data collected through the app, specifically regarding pain and medication dosage, will assist the Seattle Children’s care team in understanding standard recovery trends, thereby enhancing patient care in the future.

As this app is presently in its pilot phase, user feedback is encouraged to facilitate improvements for subsequent iterations of the application.
