PEDIATRIC MOONSHOT

Our mission is to reduce healthcare inequity, lower healthcare costs and improve outcomes

Why this Mission Matters

Unless you’re geographically or socioeconomically lucky, it’s difficult to gain access to expertise in various disciplines of healthcare. Pediatric expertise is scarce and increasingly centralized, leaving 60% of rural counties in the US with no pediatric specialist.

We have the ability to use advanced cloud computing and AI technology to make a difference for children who are not geographically or socioeconomically lucky.

How? By creating privacy-preserving, real-time applications based on access to data in all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all 500 children’s hospitals in the world.

How this Helps

Reduce Healthcare Inequity

Our technology enables clinical experts to reach patients beyond their immediate geographical areas and provide expertise with children who need care.

Lower Healthcare Cost

Our programs are designed to significantly lower costs by making critical data readily available for more timely and accurate care.

Improve Patient Outcomes

Our groundbreaking innovations provide privacy-preserving, real-time data that is as simple to use as an app on your phone.
