Brief summary

To determine the accuracy and precision of capillary refill time measurement using a mobile health application (Cap App) in a healthy pediatric population. This will be a cross-sectional study measuring the capillary refill time in a healthy pediatric population using both the Cap App and two additional manual methods which will serve as the comparison.

Interventions

DEVICEMobile Health application (CapApp)

Mobile Health application (CapApp) will be used to measure capillary refill time in a healthy pediatric population and compared to two additional manual methods to include both human and computer annotation and mobile health application (Cap App).
