Children's National Hospital Innovation Day & Showcase
At Children’s National, we define “innovation” as the process of translating novelties and discoveries to serve our patients and families, and ultimately, the larger market.
Innovation Day will primarily focus on Children’s National’s life science projects that are looking for strategic partnerships as well as co-development and licensing opportunities. The event will also showcase startup companies whose missions are aligned with our quest to bring more pediatric products to market. Throughout the day, investors and startups will have the chance to meet with our researchers and prominent stakeholders in the life sciences innovation ecosystem. Investors and interested companies will have a chance for one-on-one meetings with startups and selected research teams.
About Children’s National Research & Innovation
Children’s National Research Institute conducts novel basic, translational, clinical, and community research and education programs within Children’s National Hospital that improve the well-being of children throughout their lives. Our vision is to lead the nation in advancing the health and well-being of all children; to be a premier pediatric health system, with leadership in advocacy, research, education and clinical care; and to set the standard in delivering the highest quality care in ways that put the child at the center.

Symposium on Pediatric Medical Devices for Optimizing the Heart-Brain Continuum
When: April 26, 2024 | 10a – 3p
Location: Children’s National Research and Innovation Campus, JLABS @ Washington, DC
7144, 13th Place, NW, Washington, DC 20012
The heart-brain continuum underscores the vital connection between cardiac function and brain health. This connection is particularly critical for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), where maintaining optimal cerebral oxygenation is paramount for positive neurodevelopmental outcomes. In pediatrics and other patients, non-invasive monitoring devices play a crucial role in this relationship, as they provide real-time insights into hemodynamic variables, cerebral oxygenation, and intracranial pressure (ICP). By tracking these metrics, clinicians can better manage the delicate balance between oxygen delivery and consumption, thereby preventing brain injury and promoting optimal neurodevelopment. As such, developing pediatric medical devices (PMDs) for non-invasive monitoring of both cardiac and cerebral status becomes imperative, especially in the care of critically ill neonates, infants, and children, to promptly identify abnormalities in hemodynamics and cerebral perfusion for effective intervention.
The symposium aims to explore the latest advancements and challenges in pediatric cardiac and non-invasive monitoring device development from an industry perspective. It will provide a platform for collaborative dialogue among experts in the field, with the goal of informing the development of innovative solutions to address unmet clinical needs in pediatric cardiac and neurocritical care.
