About Dr. Ali Ozcan and ER4Kids
I'm a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician. I built ER4Kids because too many parents face the scariest moments of parenthood — a seizing child, a fever that won't break, breathing that doesn't look right — feeling completely alone with their worry.
The idea came from the pediatric ER
Night after night in the emergency department, I meet families at their most overwhelmed. A parent arrives at 2 AM with a toddler burning with fever, terrified they're missing something dangerous. Another watches their child have a febrile seizure — one of the most frightening things a person can witness — and has no idea what to do.
In the ER, I get to give those families clear, calm, evidence-based guidance. I explain what's happening, what matters, and what to do next. And I kept thinking: parents deserve this guidance before they're in my emergency department — at home, in the moment they need it.
What ER4Kids does
ER4Kids puts that same trusted guidance in parents' pockets:
- Weight-based medication dosing — quick help with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) dosing by your child's weight.
- Symptom guidance — clear explanations of common childhood symptoms: fever, vomiting and diarrhea, breathing problems, ear pain, rash, abdominal pain, and more.
- Emergency first aid — step-by-step instructions for febrile seizures, dehydration warning signs, and poisoning/ingestions.
- Home or ER? — help understanding when symptoms can be managed at home versus when emergency care may be needed.
- Gamified health education — available now in the free app — short interactive lessons with quizzes, badges, streaks, and progress tracking, so parents build real health knowledge a few minutes at a time.
My mission
Every family deserves to feel less alone and more confident when their child is sick or hurt. Health literacy saves worry, saves unnecessary ER trips, and — when minutes truly count — saves lives. ER4Kids exists to make trusted pediatric guidance available to every parent, whenever they need it.
