For Innovators

The journey of developing a pediatric medical device is complex, requiring expertise in engineering, clinical needs, regulatory approval, and commercialization. At the Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium, we make that journey easier.

With our shared resources, expert mentorship, and industry connections, we help innovators overcome barriers and accelerate their devices toward FDA approval and real-world application.

• Have an idea? We provide prototyping, pre-clinical testing, and commercialization support.
• Need funding? We offer seed grants and access to industry partnerships.
• Navigating regulations? Our experts help with FDA approval and reimbursement strategies.

Children face unique healthcare challenges, but innovation for pediatric devices lags significantly behind.

🔹 80% of FDA-approved devices lack pediatric testing.
🔹 Only one pediatric device gets FDA approval per year.
🔹 5,000+ rare pediatric diseases remain underrepresented in medical research.

We’re Here to Change That.

Through our multi-disciplinary collaboration, we provide:
✔ Clinical insights from leading pediatricians to validate unmet needs.
✔ Advanced prototyping and testing to refine device concepts.
✔ Regulatory & commercialization expertise to streamline approval processes.

From early-stage ideation to market entry, we provide the expertise and infrastructure you need to succeed.
