"My advice to pediatric entrepreneurs is to never give up: whether you are facing a hurdle in executing a clinical trial, or getting a million noes because for one reason or another they don't want to fund your pediatric-focused company, just never give up! You'll end up with the right investor if you continue telling your story from the heart." Our guest for the second episode of Impact1 Voices is Anna Lisa Somera, CEO of Rhaeos, a company developing a?device, FlowSense, to assess hydrocephalus shunt flow in pediatric and adult patients. Anna Lisa explains how her team chose to use their platform-sensor technology to meet the needs of hydrocephalus patients and clinicians, the benefits of family involvement in clinical trials for pediatric patients, and her experience applying for non-dilutive funding opportunities and resources outside of Silicon Valley. If you are an entrepreneur interested in the pediatric space, don’t miss this story!

??? Join us next week for our monthly Innovation & Health Equity discussion! Krista Donaldson, Stanford Biodesign’s director of innovation to impact will share some of the challenges, wins, and takeaways from her experience as founder & CEO of Equalize Health, a company that developed medical devices treating over 2 million patients in 80 countries. ?Date: Thursday October 24 from 2:30-3:30 PM (PST) ??Register to attend the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/gp-QucsT CC: Bay Area Global Health Alliance, Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health

“Inefficiencies in healthcare are a constant source of inspiration for me and for our fellows, who every single year come back with hundreds of opportunities to make improvements. It gets me excited when we finally match that need with a solution that turns into a real change. I've had the opportunity to see that a number of times and the good news for healthcare innovators out there is that there's still a lot to do.” #ICYMI Earlier this month, Stanford Biodesign’s director Josh Makower shared the stage with Dr. Kristin Anne Rutter, Peter Skillman, and NAOMI GRIMLEY at the Groundbreakers Forum to discuss the value of AI and data in healthcare, the environmental impact of the global healthcare industry, the role of supply chains in healthcare in the post-pandemic era, and the challenge of innovating in healthcare.

Building bridges between Technical University of Munich and Stanford University to scale access to care ?? Together with TUM Venture Labs, we hosted a workshop where students, innovators, and clinicians brought clinical needs from TUM Universit?tsklinikum Klinikum rechts der Isar and went through the highlights of the identification and invention steps of the Stanford Biodesign process, reviewed the Stanford Spezi framework, and formed plans to co-create new digital health solutions ?? We were captivated by the innovative work that clinicians and researchers are doing with remote patient monitoring, virtual and augmented reality, implanted smart devices, and AI applied to genetic, audio, and image analyses. There are numerous new opportunities to bring our groups together! ?? A huge thank you to Felicitas Eidenschink, the entire TUM Venture Labs team, Med-Dev, and Heinz Nixdort Stiftung for hosting us, UnternehmerTUM for forming this bridge between Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign and Technical University of Munich, and to everyone involved in making this visit successful. Looking forward to future collaborations that will grow from the past week??? cc: Felicitas Eidenschink, Dr. Sabine Klein, Luisa Lühdorff, Helmut Schoenenberger, Prof. Dr. med.

Thank you for hosting Stanford Biodesign Digital Health team!????? Danke, dass wir zu Gast sein durften!

??? People from different backgrounds and geographies with varied life experiences and points of view make up Stanford Biodesign. We believe that the more diverse a team is, the greater the potential for inclusive innovation. When our 2024-25 cohort of fellows arrived on campus, we created a map to start tracking the places Biodesigners call home.? ??

“Reimbursement is a three-legged stool: it's coding, coverage, and payment. Coverage is only one piece of this very substantial challenge that innovators have to navigate…they all need to be revised and revisited to be able to accelerate access for patients to important technologies” #ICYMI Stanford Biodesign’s director Josh Makower shared why coverage reforms are needed to promote medical innovation and patient access at the event “The Future of Medicare’s Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) Policy”,? hosted in collaboration with the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics and the Tufts Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health (CEVR). ??You can watch a replay of his brief lecture and a discussion panel with officials from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) here: https://lnkd.in/eSsVhnBN

Just over a month ago, our wonderful community of Biodesigners, trainees, faculty, supporters, and special guests witnessed our transformation into the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign. "The reason why Mike and Linda’s gift is so impactful is because its power is not vested in a single product, but in the training of people who in their lifetimes may create many products and services that help patients, and go on to train others to do the same" ―Josh Makower Take a look at some of the photos from the day! #innovationeducation #healthtech #tbt Photos: Julio Duffoo Photography.
