Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) Innovation Accelerator

Research Programs

The PICU Chain of Survival is a unified, data-driven framework that enhances outcomes for critically ill children through scalable, team-based care across the entire clinical continuum.

The SAMURAI PICU bundle is a groundbreaking intervention designed to prevent pediatric cardiac arrests in intensive care units. Through early risk detection and enhanced team situational awareness, this multi-institutional study aims to reduce CPR events and improve outcomes for critically ill children.

The PICU Innovation Accelerator is redefining PICU simulation to strengthen critical‑care readiness and safety.

We leverage clinical expertise and software development to rapidly prototype evidence‑based digital training solutions.

The DISCOVER grant leverages digital innovation and immersive simulation to improve pediatric diagnostic accuracy in critical care. Through user-centered design and virtual reality testing, transdisciplinary teams are developing clinical decision support tools to enhance timely, precise diagnoses and patient safety.

This medical student education program is advancing pediatric firearm safety counseling with a scalable, automated VR curriculum. It empowers clinicians to practice and refine secure storage conversations backed by data and designed for real-world impact.
