Safety First

Pediatric Safety
Is Non-Negotiable

Children aren't just small adults. Our entire platform is built with pediatric-specific safety thresholds, emergency protocols, and privacy protections.

Pediatric Warning Thresholds

All alerts are calibrated for pediatric vital sign ranges, which differ significantly from adults.

One-Touch Emergency

Immediate connection to 911 or Poison Control with child's medical information ready to share.

Caregiver Notifications

Parents are immediately alerted when concerning symptoms are logged by any caregiver.

Pediatric Nurse Chat

24/7 access to nurses specifically trained in pediatric care for urgent questions.

Example: Pediatric Fever Thresholds

Normal Range
Monitor at home
<100.4°F
Low-Grade Fever
Increased monitoring
100.4-102°F
High Fever
Contact provider
>102°F
Infant <3 months: ANY fever
Seek immediate care
≥100.4°F

Thresholds automatically adjust based on child's age and condition

Trusted by Families

When my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 6, I was terrified. Distal helped us track her blood sugars, but more importantly, it helped me feel like I wasn't alone. The caregiver guides got me through those first scary months.

My son had a concussion from soccer. The return-to-learn protocol in Distal helped us work with his school so he didn't fall behind while recovering. His teachers loved getting clear guidance.

David R.
Parent
Concussion14 years old

As a school nurse managing 800 kids, I appreciate when parents share Distal care plans with me. I know exactly what to watch for and when to call them. It makes my job easier and keeps kids safer.

Distal helped us extend our care beyond the hospital walls. Parents feel supported, and we see the kids less often in the ER - which is exactly what we want.
