Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is a national leader in pediatric and obstetric care innovation, with a strong focus on health equity and digital transformation. Its clinical informatics and translational data science programs lead national efforts to develop AI-driven tools that prioritize privacy and equitable access for young patients, such as secure large language models and natural language processing models aligned with the 21st Century Cures Act. The institution’s endocrinology team led the equitable 4T study on continuous glucose monitoring in Type 1 diabetes, ensuring inclusion of underrepresented populations and improving outcomes using remote monitoring tools. Recent advancements include AI-powered premature birth prediction using wearable data, an expanded 3D cardiac imaging heart-matching program to reduce transplant wait times, and the opening of a new simulation center to improve care team training. Thanks to these groundbreaking efforts, the system was recognized for innovation by Parents magazine in 2020 and by Health.com in 2023, among many other recognitions and designations.
