Impact Pediatric Health

Impact Pediatric Health is a collaborative initiative and pitch competition founded by several of the leading children's hospitals in the United States. The organization aims to accelerate the development of innovative technologies specifically designed for the pediatric market, including digital health, medical devices, and health IT. Annually, the consortium hosts a high-profile pitch event at the SXSW Conference, where selected startups present their solutions to a panel of clinical leaders and venture capitalists. Participating institutions include Boston Children's Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and Cincinnati Children's, among others, who work together to identify and implement breakthrough pediatric healthcare solutions. By bridging the gap between startups and major pediatric health systems, the group facilitates the validation and adoption of new clinical tools that address the unique physiological and developmental needs of children.
