Pediatric Medical Device Institute  

PMDI is for infants and children who have unmet needs for medical devices to improve the quality of their care, the PMDI utilizes an innovative approach to product development. Unlike the current market driven device development process, the needs-based PMDI invests professional effort and/or funds at specific points in the product development life-cycle in order to create devices at an accelerated pace, thus overcoming many barriers inherent in the traditional model.
