with
Zachary Vesoulis, MD
In this presentation, we will delve into the disparities in NICU outcomes, explore how medical devices and technology may contribute to these issues, and discuss how they can also be part of the solution.
Key Takeaways:
• Identify race-based disparities in neonatal mortality and morbidity.
• Learn different ways that disparities are perpetuated through technology.
• Gain an understanding of the regulatory pathway for medical devices and how that might be leveraged.
• Take lessons from Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) for innovative solutions.
