The Pennsylvania Pediatric Medical Device Consortium, or PPDC, aims to assist pediatric medical device innovators along the pathway from concept to commercialization. We provide innovators with the assistance and support needed to commercialize their technologies to improve pediatric medicine.
The PPDC is very excited to introduce its new online forum! We hope this forum will increase engagement and awareness of available tools to develop and commercialize pediatric devices.
The PPDC is proud to have an active membership composed of innovators and luminaries with a diverse range of clinical, scienctific, and industry experience. Members share the PPDC goal to bring pediatric medical devices to market.
Membership benefits include:
Little Sparrows Technology, a PPDC-assisted company, won the USPTO "Patents for Humanity" Award. See the link below for more information about the win.
