KidsHealth.org, the largest provider of online and video content about
children's health and development, announced the launch of its new
iPhone app for parents called Is It Contagious? 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."

Is It Contagious? can be downloaded for free in the iTunes App Store
(search: "Is It Contagious?"), or via this link

KidsHealth partners with health plans, including Coventry Health Care
and UnitedHealth Group, top children's hospitals across the US, and
organizations including the NBA, Michael Phelps Foundation, and PBS
KIDS Sprout to provide health content for families.
