OUR FOCUS
U.S. kids are at the unacceptable bottom of global health outcomes. The significant need is fueling a major shift underway. Traditional healthcare is reactive, but the future of pediatric healthcare is Proactive, Personalized, and Tech-enabled. The next decade will transform pediatric healthcare by cutting-edge technologies creating entirely new categories of investment and economic value.
PEDIATRIC CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Nearly 40 % of children suffer from chronic conditions, with half of all adult chronic diseases originating in childhood. Despite these staggering numbers, pediatric chronic conditions remain underfunded and overlooked in healthcare innovation and investment. Failing to address these issues early leads to lifelong health burdens, increased healthcare costs, and diminished quality of life. Investing in pediatric chronic conditions is a critical strategy for preventing and mitigating the long-term impact of chronic disease, ultimately shaping a healthier future for generations to come.
FETOMATERNAL HEALTH
The rising rates of maternal and infant mortality in the U.S. are unacceptable. Since 2018, maternal mortality has surged by 89 %, and infant mortality has increased by 10 % since 2022. Shockingly, U.S. infant mortality is 71 % higher than in other developed nations. One in 12 women and newborns lacks access to essential care, exacerbating preventable health crises. Investing in fetomaternal health is not just a moral imperative—it’s an economic and public health necessity.
