For decades, innovation has been a driving force behind better care for children and families at Seattle Children's. Building on that foundation, we're proud to launch the Institute for Pediatric Innovation, a $10 million initiative designed to accelerate the development and adoption of breakthrough solutions in pediatric healthcare. From AI and precision medicine to medical devices and therapeutics, the institute will help transform promising ideas into meaningful impact for kids.

Thrilled that @seattlechildren is the first partner to exclusively sponsor @UW women’s athletics - let’s go!

[Seattle Children's @seattlechildren]

We’re proud to announce that Seattle Children’s is the first presenting sponsor of UW Women’s Athletics!

This exciting partnership brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to supporting kids and families across our community.

Through initiatives like Husky Heroes, Seattle Children’s patients have opportunities to meet UW student-athletes and enjoy memorable game-day experiences, creating meaningful connections and lasting memories.

We’re excited about what’s ahead as we come together to celebrate the strength, resilience and spirit of the kids and families we serve.

Really important work, needs validation in the real world with real patients 👇

Our MAI Diagnostic system is now 1.7x more accurate than physicians in the ED, even when they have access to the web to look things up.

It's also lower cost & does fewer medical tests to get to its diagnosis.

Did you know that healthcare is now the top employer in 38 of 50 states, including Washington? This wasn't true just 35 years ago, and implications for both healthcare and the economy are significant.

Access to an LLM isn’t a medical degree. But I don’t think we totally understand yet just how informed patients are going to be. And no one knows better when something is wrong. This is a huge cultural shift well underway.

[Christopher A. Longhurst, MD @CALonghurst]

This. Especially in healthcare. 👇
