What We Do
A great need currently exists for medical devices designed specifically for children.
The Southwest-Midwest National Pediatric Device Innovation Consortium, based at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, is a “free and no-strings-attached” virtual accelerator that supports pediatric device innovators throughout the pediatric device life cycle.
We provide direct device and seed funding, consulting assistance, engineering and design assistance, potential clinical collaborators, and connections to local programs and resources.
