    Pediatric Medical Device Pitch Competition Announces 30 Semi-Finalists

    Thirty innovators will compete on March 23, 2020 in a virtual showcase.

    National Capital Consortium of Pediatric Device Innovators03.19.20
    Thirty semi-finalists have been announced in the annual “Make Your Medical Device Pitch for Kids!” competition presented by the National Capital Consortium for Pediatric Medical Devices (NCC-PDI) . Organizers are adopting a virtual meeting room format to connect contestants and judges, eliminating the need for travel or an in-person gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition focuses on pediatric innovations in cardiovascular, orthopedic and spine, and NICU devices, areas of greatest need.
     
    Up to 10 finalists selected from this event will participate in a newly created pediatric track in the accelerator program of non-profit accelerator MedTech Innovator and advance to the October 2020 competition finals in Toronto as part of the 8th Annual Pediatric Device Innovation Symposium hosted by Children’s National Hospital. Finalists will pitch for a share of up to $250,000 in grant awards.
     
    NCC-PDI is one of five members in the FDA’s Pediatric Device Consortia Grant Program and is led by the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Hospital and the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. The competition is organized and led by NCC-PDI partner MedTech Innovator. NCC-PDI is also supported by partners BioHealth Innovation and design firm Archimedic.

Of those, most are designated for children age 12 or older.
