About
Motivated by an experience with his premature daughter, Tim Moran formed PediaWorks to improve pediatric clinical outcomes by developing medical devices specifically for children. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, PediaWorks selects projects based on clinical impact rather than sales or profit potential. In 2010, PediaWorks assembled a team of over 50 pediatric interventional cardiologists to identify device needs in their field. It then formed a social venture, PediaVascular, with an international manufacturer to co-develop and market some of the identified devices. To date over 10,000 children have benefited from PediaVascular’s devices which are now used in 95% of the US pediatric catheterization labs. In addition to managing its own projects, PediaWorks has provided pro bono commercialization assistance to clinicians and researchers at more than 20 institutions.
