We aim to employ empathic engineering to give pediatric patients mobility and freedom from the constraints of their IV pole. Our product offers a compact and portable alternative to standard infusion systems while maintaining complete compatibility with current hospital IV infusion systems. With PEDS-PAK, pediatric patients can seamlessly transition between treatment and playtime, while enhancing their recovery.
Current continuous infusion systems pose mutliple problems for pediatric patients, decreasing their quality of life and ability to meet their developmental milestones. The following problems have been highlighted by nurses and parents of pediatric patients:
Each year, many pediatric patients are diagnosed with conditions that require constant infusion.
With PEDS-PAK’s wearable and hospital-compatible design, pediatric patients can seamlessly transition between treatment and playtime, all while enhancing their path to recovery.
Our design has the following key features, making it functional while also being comfortable for pediatric patients.
The system includes alerts and alarms, both visual and audible, to alert healthcare professionals if there is an issue in the infusion.
The battery life of the system is long enough for typical lengths of continuous infusions.
The system will be fully compatible with current systems used in hospitals, to make it easier to transition from a typical IV pole to PEDS-PAK.
The option to customize the system with their favorite characters allows pediatric patients to express their personalities.
The system can detect flow rates and ensure that the rates match those programmed.
Weight distribution and minimized product weight makes PEDS-PAK comfortable for pediatric patients to wear.
When comparing our product to other major market share holders, our design is portable, wearable, reusable, easily integratable, and safe, while also being specifically designed for pediatric patients.
Our two-pronged distribution strategy includes direct distribution to children's hospitals such as Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) as well as acquisition or distribution through Becton Dickinson, who makes the Alaris pumps our system will be compatible with.
