Dr. Chester Koh discusses how the challenges with pediatric device development are being overcome through the development and coordination of several ground-breaking programs. The smaller size of the pediatric market has often led to a lack of device development, but the patient needs persist. Dr. Koh explains how pediatric device development can be accelerated through a University engineering program Capstone Project, the FDA-sponsored Pediatric Device Consortium, NIH SBIR and STTR programs, and private funding.
