Advancing Care for Every Child at Every Stage.

2027 Pediatric Care Innovation Award badge

The 2027 HealthTechNode Pediatric Care Innovation Award recognizes technologies, platforms, devices, and care models improving health and healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and their families. This award honors innovations that address pediatric needs through better access, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, engagement, and family support.

Children require care designed for their developmental stages, clinical needs, family circumstances, and changing environments. Purpose-built pediatric technology can help clinicians detect concerns earlier, coordinate specialized care, support caregivers, and improve experiences across hospitals, clinics, schools, homes, and communities.

This award celebrates solutions demonstrating practical value and thoughtful pediatric design. Strong entries will show how the innovation improves access, safety, clinical workflows, family engagement, quality of life, or measurable health outcomes.
