Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, in strategic partnership with Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, Lurie’s Innovate2Impact Program and The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP), announce the launch of Lurie Medtech Week, taking place August 11-15, 2025.
The initiative facilitates discussions and collaborations between stakeholders in the pediatric innovation ecosystem, hosted in partnership with Academic Affairs & Research, Division of Emergency Medicine, Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute, the Department of Surgery and The Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP)
Lurie Medtech Week exemplifies a shared commitment to leveraging interdisciplinary excellence to solve the most complex challenges facing pediatric innovation, research, and healthcare. Presentations and panels focus on cutting-edge technologies and treatments specifically designed and engineered for pediatric populations.
All sponsorship funding directly contributes to the implementation of Lurie Medtech Week events.

Medical devices are critical tools for the diagnosis and management of disease in children. Unfortunately, very few devices are developed, tested, and approved specifically for kids. Pediatric device innovation lags up to 10 years behind adult devices. This means that for certain diseases, children have no device options, or have to rely on adult devices that are modified and used off-label with little or no safety data for their use in pediatrics. To address this gap, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has developed a number of programmatic and regulatory initiatives, including creating the Pediatric Device Consortia (PDC) Program which funds CTIP.
