Research
Pediatric medical devices are scarce, often forcing clinicians to rely on adult devices used off-label. As one of five FDA-funded Pediatric Device Consortia in the U.S., we work to identify and address the clinical, technical, regulatory, ethical and financial barriers that limit pediatric device development.
As data and software become integral to medical devices, applying rigorous informatics principles is essential. We bridge informatics and device development by focusing on integration, interoperability, data standards, ontologies and FAIR data principles.
Real-world evidence (RWE) is increasingly critical to post-market medical device surveillance. Thus, we are developing the Pediatric Device Patient Database – the first prospective database integrating clinical, device, and patient-generated health data, which will support both retrospective and prospective research for investigators, industry, and the FDA.
