The Pediatric Device Innovation Consortium (PDIC) accelerates the creation of pediatric medical technologies. Medical device development for children is estimated to lag the adult market by a decade. Factors such as limited profit opportunities and high development costs remain barriers to the development of devices that are designed exclusively for kids. This innovation gap results in families and health care providers improvising or making due with inadequate products. PDIC brings together academics, industry experts and patient advocates to bridge this gap and improve outcomes for our youngest patients.
