Questions parents ask
What is FamProtect?
An app that helps you find the right emergency room or urgent care for your child, or anyone in your family, fast, wherever you are. It isn't out yet. We're building it now.
When does it launch?
We're aiming for 2027. Founding Families hear first and get early access.
How much will it cost?
We'll share pricing closer to launch. Founding Families get a special launch price, just for them.
Does FamProtect give medical advice?
No. It helps you find nearby options. Ultimately, you decide where to go. In an emergency, always call 911.
What happens to the place I recommend?
It's saved anonymously and never linked to your email. We check every place parents send us. When the app launches, places multiple parents recommend will show a ♥ next to their name, so other families know parents have been there and recommend it.
Do I have to recommend a place to join the waitlist?
No. Joining and recommending are separate. Founding Families get the same perks either way.
Can I recommend more than one place?
Yes. Recommend as many as you trust, near home or places you've visited.
I work at a hospital or urgent care. Can I recommend it?
Please don't recommend a place you work for or are paid by. We want recommendations from parents who've been there as patients.
Is my information private?
Yes. We never sell your information, there are no ad trackers on this site, and recommendations are never linked to your email. Read our privacy notice.
Can places pay to be recommended?
Never. Places can't pay to be recommended or to rank higher. No sponsored spots, ever.
Where does it work?
We're aiming to cover all of the U.S. when we launch.
Does it work for adults too?
Yes. FamProtect is built around kids, but it works for everyone in the family, including grandparents.
