We are living through a revolution in healthcare. Data and data science are increasingly reshaping all aspects of our lives, including developmental healthcare. We’re moving toward the personalization of clinical care, focusing on the individual—not one size fits all.

This is coming faster than you may think.

Precision health aims to personalize treatment and prevention strategies based on individual biological differences and social determinants. While the approach has proven successful for certain patient groups, broader translation—particularly in child health—faces challenges with evidence development, evidence appraisal, and implementation. These challenges are compounded as existing methods fail to incorporate the physiology and socio-biology unique to childhood.

Our goal is to understand each child’s health and development, so we can predict better, treat smarter and provide clinical care faster.

Here’s how we’ll get there.
