This week’s episode brings together three innovators working on very different parts of the same challenge: building better systems for the people who train, care for, and protect pediatric patients. One team built scheduling software to reduce the administrative burden on residency programs, and discovered they were also building a well-being tool. One physician is.

This week’s episode brings together two innovators solving very different problems in pediatric healthcare: one navigating the payer ecosystem, one building hardware for the smallest and most vulnerable patients. Together, they paint a picture of just how demanding it is to build for children, and how much more complex the path to adoption becomes when.

Two founders who built from the inside out, one who spent 25 years watching children disengage from therapy before deciding to do something about it, and one who looked at the data showing 93% of pediatric mental health care excludes parents and built an entire clinical model around fixing that. Different problems, but the same.

Two nurses who spent their careers at the bedside. One now leading a children’s hospital. One who left the bedside to build something patients needed at 2am that no one else had built yet. Both asking the same question: how do we make this better for the people who need it most? The Easy Button.
