Six Innovations That Could Advance Pediatric Cardiology

Six medtech companies developing pediatric cardiology devices each received $50,000 grants through the "Make Your Medical Device Pitch for Kids" competition.

The competition is presented by the Alliance for Pediatric Device Innovation (APDI), a nonprofit consortium led by Children's National Hospital and funded through the FDA and Additional Ventures. The funds will help the companies bring their technologies to market.

The six funding recipients are Bloom Standard, Compremium AG, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, OxiWear, PyrAmes and Sibel Health. As part of the grant funding, the medtech innovators will gain access to support services and technical expertise provided by APDI and Additional Ventures in areas that include engineering, regulatory, reimbursement, clinical trials study design and data science services.

"Congratulations to our awardees, whose innovative technologies show great promise in advancing care for pediatric heart patients," said Kolaleh Eskandanian, VP and chief innovation officer at Children's National and APDI program director and principal investigator. "We are thrilled to welcome this new cohort into our pediatric device accelerator, where they will have the opportunity to collaborate with clinician-scientists at Children's National and connect to Additional Ventures' network. Along with these collaborations, the awardees will benefit from a full range of APDI wraparound services designed to support the development of devices specifically for pediatric patients, helping them navigate the complex path to market."

The competition was held alongside the 12th Annual Symposium on Pediatric Device Innovation, presented by Children's National and co-located with AdvaMed's MedTech Conference.

Here are the companies that won grants and more about their innovative device technologies:
