Building the Future of Pediatric Innovation

Children are still too often treated with medical devices designed for adults. Changing that reality requires more than new technologies. It demands stronger connections across healthcare, engineering, research, entrepreneurship, public health, and investment to move innovation into practice.

Join Arizona State University and national leaders in pediatric healthcare and translational research for a focused conversation on how to accelerate pediatric medical device innovation and build the partnerships needed for faster impact.

What to Expect

The panel will explore:

• Challenges in pediatric device development
• National initiatives advancing children’s health technologies
• The FDA Pediatric Device Consortia program
• Strategies for generating clinical evidence using real-world data and real-world evidence
• How hospitals, universities, startups, philanthropy, and investors can work together more effectively

You will also hear how Arizona’s healthcare and innovation ecosystem is building new capabilities in this space, and where local innovators, entrepreneurs, and medtech companies can plug in. The Southwest Pediatric Device Consortium provides innovators with access to national expertise, resources, and support to advance pediatric medical technologies.
