The competition, dubbed the Bear Institute Pediatric Accelerator Challenge for Kids, allows startups to share their innovations and receive feedback from judges while competing for a chance to win an on-site pilot and software development support, according to a Jan. 17 release from Children’s National. 

Here are this year’s winners:

  • PigPug Health: A company that is using neurofeedback and artificial intelligence to help children with ADHD and autism become more socialized.
  • Global Continence: A company that created a device that can help mitigate bedwetting with a neuromodulation process.
  •  PyrAmes: Its tool, Boppli, aims to provide continuous, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and streams data via Bluetooth to a mobile device.
  • Maro: The company creates child development kits that equip children’s caretakers with tools and data needed to help them navigate tough conversations with children. Some of the kits’ topics cover mental health, diversity, empathy and puberty, and they can help identify mental health at-risk students in schools.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
