24/7 PAEDIATRIC NURSE-BACKED GUIDANCE
When your child is sick, you're exhausted, confused and worried. The last thing you need is more conflicting information.
Sick hAPPens is the APP that gives you real answers and genuine reassurance, right at the moment you need it.
BUILT FOR REAL MOMENTS, NOT IDEAL ONES
Childhood illness information is readily available. Hospital websites. Social media. AI. But the part that's missing is how to apply it to the real-life scenario unfolding in your home.
Take dehydration. We all know it's bad. But no one tells you how on earth to prevent it when you're dealing with a miserable toddler with hand, foot and mouth disease. Their mouth is filled with ulcers, they bounce from one fever to the next, and they scream at the sight of a drink bottle. Getting them to take a sip of water feels near impossible.
That's the kind of real-life, how-to detail you're actually looking for.
GET THE APPSOUND FAMILIAR?
How high is too high for a fever?
How do I stop a chesty cough?
My Doctor can't see us until next week. Do we wait, or go to ED?
How can you tell if a rash is dangerous?
What's the difference between gut-instinct and anxiety?

REAL MOMENTS. REAL FAMILIES.
2.17AM
THE SUDDEN CROUP ATTACK
The barking cough. The noisy breathing. The gasping for air. You've never dealt with it this bad before and you don't know if you need an ambulance or can wait it out like all the other times.
DAY 3 OF FEVERS
IT'S STILL GOING
They seem okay-ish. But three days of high temps feels like a long time. You're not sure if this is normal or if you've waited a little too long.
JUST BEFORE DAYCARE
ONE VOMIT, BUT NOW TOTALLY FINE
Is that it? Or is it the start of gastro? Does your child need to stay home? Do you need to call work to say you'll be off work, again? Or can they go because it was only one?
DOCTOR CAN'T SEE THEM
NO APPOINTMENTS UNTIL NEXT WEEK
You need to know: is this something that can wait? Or do you need to get your child checked out? Should you go to Emergency?
FROM PENNY
I've spent 15+ years as a Paediatric Nurse and have two boys of my own. So it's safe to say I know exactly what the back-to-back sickness years feel like.
We've experienced pretty much every childhood virus, rash and gastro bug, and I've been vomited, peed and cough on more times than I care to remember. I didn't just build this as a nurse. I built it as a mum who's personally been through it all.
Sick hAPPens is your safe, reliable place to land when you're bouncing between "What if I'm overreacting?" and "What if I miss something serious?"
