Driving innovation and impact in pediatric care

Despite children comprising 23% of the U.S. population, they receive only 10% of healthcare expenditures. Where investment does exist, lack of best practices for pediatric digital health leads to poor-quality products that disappoint providers, fail to improve care and research, and struggle commercially.
The Playbook: Pediatric Digital Medicine – a multi-stakeholder effort led by DiMe and Boston Children’s Hospital – is a resource built with insights from experts across healthcare, research, technology, and policy to provide you with actionable best practices to help you develop and implement effective and successful digital health tools that truly optimize care for children.
Navigate the playbook
The Playbook is designed to help you build, implement, and scale pediatric digital health technologies (DHTs) to meet the unique needs of children and their care partners. Explore the chapters below to find the tools, insights, and recommendations most relevant to your needs:

Chapter 1: Market dynamics and sustainable business opportunities
Explore the pediatric DHT landscape and the transformative potential of these tools.

Chapter 2: Centering the user in product development
Navigate pediatric care systems, center children’s experiences in DHT development, and ensure privacy, safety, and security.

Chapter 3: Implementation and scale
Implement evidence-based strategies to scale DHTs while addressing children’s unique needs and clinical care challenges.

Chapter 4: Digital health technologies in clinical investigations
Leverage telemedicine, wearables, and digital platforms to reach underserved populations, gather meaningful data, and improve pediatric care.
