The app includes educational videos (over 60 in all) to describe the mechanisms of injury and evaluation of accidental or inflicted pediatric injuries including bruises, burns, head injuries, fractures, and abdominal injuries. The app includes forensic decision making tools that work as checklists/decision trees in evaluating injured children and help guide further testing and referral.”
