The program featured a keynote fireside chat with Kolaleh Eskandanian, PhD, followed by four focused panels: (1) procurement, reimbursement, and clinical adoption barriers within children\u2019s hospitals; (2) pathways for licensing, M&amp;A, and corporate accelerator partnerships; (3) lived regulatory experiences of CTIP portfolio companies across FDA programs; and (4) investing in pediatrics beyond traditional venture capital. A portfolio showcase highlighted five CTIP companies (WearableDose, Luminoah, Makani Science, Madison Scientific, Renata Medical), with an Audience Choice Award recognizing standout innovation. Cross\u2011cutting themes included the need for earlier engagement with supply\u2011chain and finance stakeholders at hospital systems; clear value propositions that link device benefits to total cost of care; creative coding and payer\u2011evidence strategies; right\u2011sized quality systems and evidence generation for small pediatric markets; and diversified, mission\u2011aligned capital stacks (family offices, foundations, strategic partners, and non\u2011dilutive funding). This manuscript synthesizes session discussions, draws actionable lessons for innovators and health\u2011system decision\u2011makers, and outlines near\u2011term priorities for accelerating safe, effective pediatric device availability and access.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12919-026-00402-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,11]],"date-time":"2026-10-11T22:03:01Z","timestamp":1791756181000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Proceedings from the Consortium for Technology &amp; Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP) 2025 annual pediatric device innovation symposium"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Juan","family":"Espinoza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Zapotoczny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca","family":"Riello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadine","family":"Afari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madison","family":"Christmas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordan","family":"Cashwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Bent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaniv","family":"Bar-Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"402_CR1","unstructured":"\"Pediatric Device Consortia Grants Awarded.\" https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/industry\/pediatric-device-consortia-grants-program\/pediatric-device-consortia-grants-awarded#:~:text=The%20PDC%20Grants%20Program%20was,availability%20of%20pediatric%20medical%20devices.
