PEDS 228A:
Design for Pediatric Patients (DESINST 260A, PEDS 128A)
Feeding is a complex process involving coordinated interaction among several systems in the context of the parent-child dyad. A disruption in any of these systems places a child at risk for a feeding disorder. This two-quarter class will focus on the pediatric population who have feeding challenges in the neonatal ICU, the labor and delivery room, and at home. Students will use design thinking methodology as a pathway for medical device and/or systems innovation. Components of the course will involve Immersive simulation, aspects of the Stanford Biodesign method for needs prioritization, and storytelling techniques for compelling presentations.
